From: Florence

Filippo Brunelleschi's Pazzi Chapel is next to the Santa Croce Church.

Blog

Florence Journal
Like most blogs, Anthony Finta's Florence Journal is organized to show the latest articles first. This limits the blog's utility for travel planning, but it's handy if you're a Firenzephile who visits the site often.

History

Florence by Net: History of Florence
This page at Florence by Net offers a timeline of Florentine history from the 5th Century B.C., when the Etruscans founded Fiesole (now a suburb of Florence).

Internet Access

Internet Train had nearly a dozen storefront PC parlors in Florence the last time I checked. There are plenty of other Internet points in town; during the academic year, many are filled with Americans from "study abroad" programs.

Sports

Florence's Historic Football Match
Two teams of 27 players each fight over a ball (often with fisticuffs) before the victors are rewarded with steaks and wine.
