Through the Streets of Florence: The Mysteries and Secrets of Florence

The streets of Florence, especially in the morning, offer great tranquility that is felt very intensely in the small streets of the center.

The atmosphere that hovers is one of serenity imagining her as a lady who slowly wakes up and who, still in her sleep, turns over in the blankets. The luxury of this peace can be found in Via Dante Alighieri, Piazza San Martino, and Via dei Magazzini.

In a potpourri made up of studded doors, exposed bricks, and affixed symbols that recall the characters of the past, stands the plaque "..I was born and raised above the Arno river at the Gran Villa."; this phrase by Dante Alighieri, taken from his Divine Comedy, acts as a preamble to what is not far away, in Via Santa Margherita, where the so-called Casa di Dante stands.

It is not known if that is the poet's house even if Dante himself wrote that he was born nearby and although nearby he had met the love of his life Beatrice Donati.

Casa di Dante is a museum in Florence, attached to the Church of Dante, which is managed by the Unione Fiorentina.

In any case, through the Star Florence agency, it is possible to admire this building by joining a Walking Tour in Florence.

Not very far from Dante's house, just below the Duomo of Florence, we can find the stone where the poet used to sit and reflect on his works or, normally, on himself. The index of the presumed ownership is given by the plate "I Vero Sasso di Dante".
