After reading from one of the least known pages of Tuscan history, we go back to our favourite pastime: telling you the little myths and legends that make this land really unique. Instead of scouring the region in search of small hamlets in the middle of nowhere, we will just take a leisurely walk in the centre of the most famous Tuscan city: Florence. While its charm and beauty is known all over the world, the city of the Duomo has a fairly substantial dark side. If you scratch a little under its shiny surface, you will find all sorts of very interesting little mysteries, made all the more colourful by the unending popular imagination. We will tell you three of these small myths that Florentines are rightfully proud of. From the curious whirlwind of the main square in town to the very odd presence on the wall of an ancient bell tower, to the folk tale that sits behind the exceedingly curious name of an alley downtown, this is the hidden Florence that many tourists don't even know it's there. This week What's Up Tuscany will bring you back to the capital, a city that is just as weird as it is beautiful. Florence has so many other little quirks and places that would very well deserve your attention. If you're interested in hearing more about them, drop us a note or an email. Remember that we're your go-to place for everything Tuscany. We'll be more than happy to help you in any way we can!
