In the last days of February, Anne traveled to Italy. The situation was still pretty much under control and limited to the north of the country but it all changed and a few days later the Italian central government decided to extend restrictions on the movement of people across the entire country to limit the spread of coronavirus. It was a trip in strange circunstances but even with all the restrictions, such as closed museums, she fell in love in Florence... again. I know I'd fall in love with this view. Grazie.

It is hailed as the birthplace of the Renaissance movement, and throughout the 12th, 15th and 16th centuries, was one of the most important cities of the world.
