Giacomo Valli_Florence - Jet Set Life

Then I would say Santa Croce, which is the area more …I would say a more southeastern area,
which is more the ‘cultural’, you know. There you’ll find all the tombs, the Dante statues, you
know.
And then the Santo Spirito; which is the… supposedly it’s where the poor people used to live
but I mean it’s certainly not poor; and it’s sort of the Brooklyn of Florence. It’s the trendy the
more hip area where you can find all the little spots that you know kind of pop out every month
and it’s always nice to walk around and see what’s new. It’s a great area.
Rob: Okay so how many days does it take to get around Florence? In other words, is it the type
of city where you need two days, three days, or you need a week, how much time would you
recommend?
Giacomo: Florence is tiny. If you want to just see it?
Rob: Yeah.
Giacomo: I mean even 30 minutes could do it for you. But if you want to live it, I would say 15
days, that’s what you need.
Rob: Okay.
Giacomo: With all the museums, with all the places… I mean there’s tons of places, everything.
It’s like an open air museum. Florence IS a place to see, period. There aren’t things to see in
Florence, it’s the whole city.
Rob: Every block you go down, you experience something new in this town, you’re right, you’re
right.
