In the heart of Tuscany, beneath an azure sky,
Where olive groves whisper tales under the sun’s high eye,
There lies a valley, kissed by the Arno’s gentle flow,
A place where time slows, and the soul starts to grow.
This is Florence, city of dreams, of art, and lore,
Where Michelangelo’s David stands in marble’s candid core,
And Brunelleschi’s dome ascends with celestial grace,
A testament to human will, defying time and space.
In the Piazza del Duomo, under the cathedral’s towering spire,
Giotto’s colors sing in stained glass, a sacred choir.
The baptistery’s bronze doors by Andrea Pisano etched,
Narrate tales of biblical lore, time itself is caught.
Here, the Medici’s grandeur echoes through grand halls,
While Botticelli’s Venus in the Uffizi gently calls.
The bridge of Santa Trinita, where Raphael might have strayed,
Underneath, the river Arno, in its timeless charade.
Yet Florence is not just stone and canvas grandly draped,
But a living tapestry woven by countless hands unnamed.
The artisan’s craft, the merchant’s trade, the scholar’s quest,
In every cobblestone, in every historical crest.
So here’s to Florence, city of beauty, wisdom, and might,
Born from the earth, nurtured by the heart of Italy so bright.
Through ages past, present, and future, your spirit remains,
A Rispetto to thee, Florence, where art and life intertwines.
