That's a photo I took while I was in Florence last summer. She's a tragic heroine, to say the least.
By the 15th century, Florence was the heart of the renaissance, pulsating with vibrant scientific, artistic and literary craftsmen. Some of the greatest men who have ever lived paced her streets.
Now, summer 2006, she's just another prostitute to predatory tourists, scam artists, and graffiti delinquents.
Oh well, the food was good and the chicks were hot.
