Hello,

    Do you mean Florence Italy? It is Firenze. If this is the case, be
    sure and visit the Medici Chapel. It took about 500 years to complete
    and is a master work of Pietra Dura, which is cut and inlayed stone.
    It is incredible. Firenze is famous for this kind of work and the
    Medici Cappelli is amazing. If you think those little table tops and
    boxes are good this will blow you away. Also, the Pitti Palace has a
    great collection of Silver vessels made in 16-19th century. Check out
    the incredible bronze fountains near the orphanage and hospital. I
    don't remember the name but I mean the 16th century one. And last but
    not least there is a large collection of badly documented Egyptian
    art a little above the old part of the city. You can walk. It is near
    the Botanical Garden. Very interesting to see ancient gold and beads
    etc. 

Buon viagga Dennis
