The river Arno runs through this city of central Italy, which is the capital of its province as well as of the Region of Tuscany. 
Tourism revolves around the historic center, where the concentration of works of art has few rivals in the world, and is one of the most visited both by Italians and by foreigners.
But it’s not only for its art, its craftsmen, and its intense cultural atmosphere that “many from far away places”, as Dino Compagni wrote in the early 1300’s, “come to see it.”  It is also for the charm and powerful vitality that constantly emanate from its streets and squares.
