BELLOSGUARDO ITINERARY #slowflorence

What you will find

THE TERRITORY

This route offers the possibility to cross and get to know one of the Oltrarno hills closer to the historic center of the city. Through the typical narrow streets closed by walls that rise to the top on the ridge, not only beautiful but also unusual views of Florence open up. Unusual because the type of orientation and exposure of the hill allow another point of view on buildings, monuments, architectures, systems of spatial relationships in the city and between the city and its territory. It was not by chance that it was from these heights (precisely from Monte Oliveto) that the fifteenth-century "View of the Chain" was built, the first complete view of Lorenzo the Magnificent's Florence, designed by Francesco Rosselli in 1472...
