Firenze on film
If you're Italian and you've never been to Firenze in 22 years of your life -like me- you may, and should, feel quite ashamed. Last July, for one of my best friends' birthday (the girl on the 2nd shot), she dragged me to Florence and finally put an end to the ignominy.
To mark this important milestone, I decided to document our Fiorentino day trip with an old Kodak disposable camera, treasured gift for my graduation from my closest friends.
To quote one famous Italian poet:
"Godi, Fiorenza, poi che se' sì grande
che per mare e per terra batti l'ali,
e per lo 'nferno tuo nome si spande!"
che per mare e per terra batti l'ali,
e per lo 'nferno tuo nome si spande!"
"Florence! exult: for thou so mightily
Hast thriven, that o'er land and sea thy wings
Thou beatest, and thy name spreads over hell."
Hast thriven, that o'er land and sea thy wings
Thou beatest, and thy name spreads over hell."
Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy, Inferno XXVI.
