On Saturday, wedding day, we explored our 'hood, Fiesole. Now a high end suburb of Florence, it actually predates it by several centuries. Fiesole was a major Estruscan city, which got wiped out by the Romans. The Romans established a city directly below Fiesole to keep tabs on it, which became Florence. Wealthy Florentines have been building their summer homes here for centuries, taking advantage of the slightly cooler weather and the stunning views over Florence. These photos are of the town centre, which looks a bit like a refugee camp, but that's just the weekend farmers' market. Of course it has a cathedral and some nice buildings but it's really the fresh air and views of Florence that attract visitors.
