Description of objectTwo-room flat near the city centre. It has a living room with kitchenette, a double bedroom, a bathroom, air conditioning and wifi. The flat is 4km far from the airport Amerigo Vespucci and the highway Firenze Nord, 2km far from the railstation Santa Maria Novella. It is also near two parks: the Parco delle Cascine and Parco San Donato, where are shops and a cinema.
Location of objectThe Parco delle Cascine stretches to the west outside the city gates. With a length of three kilometres along the bank of the River Arno, the park came from an estate that the Medici family purchased as grand dukes and that they used above all for cattle-breeding and hunting. After the last member of the Medici dynasty died in 1737, the Habsburg-Lorraine grand dukes commissioned the architect Giuseppe Manetti to extend it into an English park, with the construction of paths, fountains, and the central “Palazzina” (1787) as a hunting lodge for the princely family. However, the part was open to the public only on Ascension Day and on special occasions. It was first made a public space in the wake of the Napoleonic occupation and quickly became a popular destination. The eight lithographs after drawings by Giuseppe Galli (1827-30) originate from this period. In contrast to the first view shown here, which is anonymous, they do not adopt the large number of people and the jostling excursion carriages as a central theme, but concentrate on the rural peace and freedom of a romantic and endless landscape. The fountains and architectural monuments such as the pyramid, which was originally used as a cold store, form reference points.
Town: Italy, Toscana, FirenzeFlorence\\\\\\\'s museums, palaces, and churches house some of the greatest artistic treasures in the world. The most popular and important sites in Florence include the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Uffizi, the Bargello, and the Accademia. The churches of Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce are veritable art galleries, and the library of San Lorenzo is a magnificent exhibition of Michelangelo\'s architectural genius. Wander some of the oldest streets in the city until you reach the Arno River, cross the Ponte Vecchio, and experience the \'newest\' area of Florence, the Oltrarno. Be sure to set aside time to see the vast and varied art collection housed in the Pitti Palace. When you grow weary of museums and monuments, head outdoors. Spend a day at the Boboli Gardens or climb the hill to the church of San Miniato al Monte to experience an enchanting view of Florence.
