It was a
beautiful spring day when I walked down the Via di San Leonardo to the city
centre of Florence. On my way I enjoyed the blooming wisteria and the sounds of
birds, and I imagined that people could have enjoyed this same route centuries
ago. Nowadays, the presence of rushing cars and scooters passing by every now
and then clearly makes a difference. Even though you might think the cityscape
of Florence has remained the same for the past centuries, in fact some of it
has changed. The same is true for the place
that I was headed to that day, namely the Villa Gualfonda.
