IN PHOTOS: Florence, Italy

A year ago, around this time, I was preparing for my crash course on the Italian language in Florence, Italy. I had been in this citadel of Italian Renaissance before but just for two days, so you could just imagine the excitement (and the anxiousness, of course) that I had in doing the new course. But my short stay in Firenze was amazing and I keep on telling everyone that I have left a chunk of my heart in the city.
