Designer’s Travel Spotlight: Florence, Italy

I have many fond memories of various travel adventures but the place which inspires my soul the most is Florence, Italy. I’ve been fortunate to have visited this beautiful and art-filled city many times and I yearn to go back soon.

Florence is truly the birth place of art and architecture. With works by famous artists like Michelangelo and architects like Brunelleschi, how can one not be inspired. The atmosphere in this jewel of a city is friendly, welcoming and warm. The food is exceptional with many cafes and restaurants where you can easily spend hours enjoying the passing time.
