Christmas Eve, my favourite tour guide showed us around Florence and explained the magnificence of Michelangelo. She took us to the main Medici buildings where he lived when he left his father's house. She explained how the city looked during his time and where his main works sat in the City. We leaned how the Florentines valued style and beauty and felt every person should benefit from beautiful public spaces and buildings - not just the rich. We left the Academia appreciating Michelangelo's genius.
After a late afternoon nap, we enjoyed an amazing dinner and walked around the beautiful city.
