Florence Giotto’s Bell Tower

Monday, May 19th, 2008

An unusual view of Giotto’s Bell Tower from “Via dei Calzaiuoli”…

In the historical centre of Forence, Via dei Calzaiuoli is certainly the main and most elegant street of the city, constant goal of an intense pedestrian traffic. The road, about 400 metres long, has no sidewalks, which is seen now by many years in a pedestrian area and along its sides are many of the most elegant shops of Florence. From here you can discover very beautiful landscapes, like this imposing image of Giotto’s belle Tower. :)
