Even in February there are many tourists in the square. I imagine what is happening here in the summer. Among the various temples, buildings, and landmarks, I noticed a small but interesting site near the Baptistery. This is the column of San Zanobi (or St. Zinovius of Florence), erected in honor of the miracle of the Bishop of Florence, who died in about 430. According to legend, when in the ninth century the relics of the saint were transferred from one church to another, in winter the cancer with the relics affected the elm and it was covered with foliage.→

And we are talking about Florence - the birthplace of the Renaissance, which embodied all the myths of the era: about perfect beauty, about earthly and heavenly love, about wise and enlightened rule, about the omnipotence of a human creator who is able to understand and transform the world. And all these myths have found their material embodiment in the city, which can be considered one big attraction. And you, walking along its narrow streets and majestic squares, raising your eyes to the heights into which Campanile Giotto rushes, comprehending the extraordinary architectural design of the Brunelleschi dome on the 4th largest cathedral in Europe, Santa Maria del Fiore, marveling at the antiquity of the Baptistery of San Giovani with his "Paradise Gates" by Lorenzo Ghiberti and dying with delight in the local open-air museum - Piazza della Signoria (even if Michelangelo's "David" is replaced there with a copy), you will find your own myth and your Florence.→
