The Piazza della Repubblica is a popular meeting place in Florence which has a very artsy vibe to it, perhaps due to the insouciant carousel and the chic patrons of the Giubbe Rosse cafe.
The arch that leads to the square reads:
L’ANTICO CENTRO DELLA CITTÀ
DA SECOLARE SQUALLORE
A VITA NUOVA RESTITUITO
Translated, it reads:
The ancient centre of the city
restored from age-old squalor
to new life

Great photo– definitely shows the character of the city.

I love the way you bring scenes to life – great eye!
Thank you kindly
The sad thing is I can’t remember where this was taken from. Have been racking my brains for the longest time.
