ArtTour FOR A LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS GIFT

In Piazza degli Strozzi, until sunday december 22nd at 7pm, ther's a really cute market where you can find a lot of nice things...

If you're a last minute person and still havent buy any christmas gift for your lovers... this is the place you need!

I went there by myself and found some intresting ideas...

GIARDINO DELLA GHERARDESCA

The "Giardino della Gherardesca" is the biggest private park of Florence (4,5 hectares) and now it is property of the Four Seasons Hotels Firenze.

For this reason it is open only for the guests of the hotel.

But once a year the Four Season organize an open day for charity and the money collected are devolved to the kids of the "Istituto degli Innocenti" of Florence.

I went there and I took some pics of the gardens... wich are breathtaking.

FOGGY FLORENCE

The fog has dressed up Florence in these days.

It is breathtaking isn'it??

Probably this will be the last german market in Santa Croce square.

In Florence the temperatures are very low this days, so what a better opportunity to escape the ice tasting a mulled wine, sausages, bretzel or simply buying a christmas present in the picturesque square until December 23rd, 2013??

As the Councillor for Culture of the city of Florence and the organizers said: the market will be moved elswhere (but still dont know where - maybe Santa Maria Novella square).
