The only thing I wish was different was that this place was open 24/7 because I would never leave.

    i would like to take the time today to announce to all of my loving fans that i am officially back…read moreand i live in italy now. i have been here now for some time... and during my sojourn here i have quite enjoyed my visits to the biblioteca delle oblate. usually i have absolutley zero work ethic and no desire whatsoever to do my homework especially now in my freshman year of university. the thing is that being the way that i am, i get good grades nontheless thanks to my charming personality so i never really take the time to absorb the material. this all changes the second i step into the library. by the grace of god there is a shift in the universe and the planets align giving me the motivation to actually do my work. i have read numerous novels and poems in these walls and have become extremly scholarly and educated. i would add that there is a cafe here just for prosterity because to me its not really relevant. expect more reviews soon, as i go on a journey of self-discovery and realization and embracing my new zest for life in my eurofall and winter.

    The Basilica di San Lorenzo is one of the biggest and oldest churches in Florence. The current…read morebuilding has been around a mere 600 years, but the church was consecrated in 393 AD. It was the parish church of the Medici family, who agreed to finance the new building in 1419. Many of the Medici are buried in the basilica. The outer facade was designed by Michelangelo, but for whatever reason, no one ever got around to constructing it. There's an ongoing debate about whether to complete the facade according to Michelangelo's designs, but for now the unfinished look is pretty interesting and distinctive. When we went, there was a temporary installation of contemporary sculptures by Florentine artist Andrea Roggi. Very cool. We visited on a quiet Thursday afternoon and took a quick, self-guided tour. Tickets were €9 apiece and we only spent 10 to 15 minutes in the church, but it was definitely worth checking out. The basilica was, of course, beautiful and opulent, extravagant in its details and full of vibrant artwork. Tons of gray and white marble and an elaborately painted dome. If you're pressed for time in Florence, Basilica di San Lorenzo isn't as mandatory as some of the other attractions. if you have a free half hour, though, you might as well spend it here. It's a great church, where you can get another strong dose of art and history.

    I know!! There are sooo many churches in Italy and in Florence and it's incredibly boring if…read moreyou're a kid or unmoved by art and history. But, if you have the good luck to love art and the smarts to love history, then this is definitely one of the three churches you should see in Florence. Although, I don't like to should on people. The was the Medici family church which is nothing to look at from the outside, but the story of the Medicis and how Michaelanglo, one of the teenage mutant ninja turtle and apparently an artist as well, abandoned the project. Cosimo di Medici asked to be buried at the feet of another ninja turtle and artist Donatello. It's shows how much Cosimo adored the artist. He didn't ask to be buried with his wife or mother or children, but with one of the greatest artists of all time.
