Italy 2017: Florence

This past week I traveled to Florence with my class to learn about the Renaissance period of architecture. We took a quick train, TRENITALIA, from Rome to Florence. We stayed at the Hotel Medici, which I highly DO NOT recommend. The only good thing about the hotel was it was in an amazing location. Other than that, the experience was great and Florence has its own character far more different than Rome. If you ever are fortunate enough to travel Italy add Florence to your list.

Italy 2017: Villa d'Este

The Villa d'Este is located in Tivoli, Italy. It is most known for its hillside Renaissance garden and a number of fountains that are found at each turn of a corner. Below are a few images I took while there.
