upcoming events: june 2015
When a month kicks off with a long weekend, you know it’s the start of something good. June begins with an extended “hello summer!” with Festa della Repubblica falling on a Tuesday, and continues on with free summer parties, cultural events and fireworks in the weeks ahead. Some are covered below, and even more will be […]
a few of our favorite things
You probably haven’t heard yet, but Christmas is almost here! Wait, you have heard? Everywhere you turn someone is mentioning the birth of baby Jesus? So you CAN believe it’s almost time to celebrate? We at FFF also wanted to join in on the Christmas commotion, but we got a bit behind having too much fun […]
florence for starters
As we’re still in back-to-school mode, we can’t help but think of all the Florence newbies that are trying to get a handle on the city. Of course, it’s not just students who have this problem; all travelers at any time of year experience a disorienting feeling once plopped down in a new place. So, consider […]
upcoming events: september 2014
Many use September as the time to mourn summer. I, on the other hand, always anticipate the leather boots, knit sweaters and cooler temperatures eagerly. “But there’s so much more to do during the summer!” people exclaim. Whelp, don’t start crying just yet, summer lovers. In researching our monthly event series, we found that the start […]
upcoming events: august 2014
Ah August, the month of ferie. During which, just about anyone with a business, a family or a pulse hightails it for the sea and says Ciao, ciao! to city life.

The program’s mantra is “Change your point of view!” Locals and visitors alike are encouraged […]

To all our American readers, Happy 4th of July! We’re busy celebrating stateside, but, as per usual, Florence needs no specific reason to celebrate the start of summer. Instead, the city’s calendar is already packed with activities of all types to fit every interest. Here are five, but make sure to check the calendar for even more, including interactive […]
free first weekend at museo novecento
We strive to find fun, free things for you to do in every post, but rarely do we have an incredible opportunity land squarely in our lap. This weekend, on June 28th and 29th, the brand-spankin’ new Museo Novecento will celebrate its opening with two days of free entry, guided tours, kids’ activities and a spectacular DJ […]
upcoming events: april 2014
Can someone tell me if there is a light at the end of this winter tunnel? I, who thought had made it through the season unscathed by illness, was brought down by a killer head cold and a final stateside snow storm this week (hence the delay in posting – apologies!). So, in addition to hot tea […]
