Walk and picnic atop Fiesole with a local architect

- As an Architect i invite you to follow me on this walk and picnic in Fiesole that will allow you to experience the "genius loci" of the beauty of the spirit of the place. -The walk is 1.5 km (about 1 mile) uphill! average gradient is 13% and the elevation gain is 195 meters, so it is not a flat walk! - The meeting point is about 6 km from the center of Florence. I recommend taking the No. 7 bus in Piazza Libertà and getting off at the "Di San Domenico Istituto Europeo" stop. - We will meet at the San Domenico fountain in the town of Fiesole and then move on to pick up schiacciata, a traditional Tuscan flatbread, for our picnic. - We will begin the walk by following the ancient Etruscan road to Fiesole. Along the way we will encounter the evidence that places have bequeathed to us from human labor as a union of artifice and nature. - At the Convent of San Francesco, at the top of the hill, we will stop to enjoy our picnic and the panoramic view of Florence and the surrounding hills. Afterwards, we will return to Piazza Mino, where I will recommend having a well-deserved coffee or aperitif. - It will be an evocative ascent to gain a fulfilled physical and mental state through which to view Florence from a different perspective ! This experience is not an official guided tour and does not replace the services of a recognized tour guide.
