citylikeyou — La Cite — Florence by Dani Padgett

Florence / Cafe

Oh, La Cite. Most every café in Florence is a quick exchange of coffee and money. However, I love nothing more than snuggling into a comfortable couch with a warm beverage in hand. La Cite provides a cozy atmosphere where you can spend endless hours relaxing with one of their paper back books. In addition to it’s laid back vibe, you can find live music, book readings seminars, screenings and performing arts at this literary café. This city within a city is covered in art and serves the best hot chocolate in the city.

Dani’s photographs are haunting portraits of understanding of one’s self and the cages we build and thus must destroy. Shooting completely in film, Dani’s photographs resemble the fog wrapped around the San Francisco bay and explore different shades of beauty that look like a whispered secret.

Florence / Market

Piazza die Ciompi depicted here, along with San Lorenzo leather market and Mercato di Sant’Ambrogio host one of the many markets in Florence. Countless treasures; everything from antiques, leather goods, an amazing variety of fresh, typically organic fruits and vegetables, meats and cheeses of all sorts, cheap clothing, and a immediate submersion into the sounds and smells of Italian cultures. This is one of the only places I can experience the authenticity of Florence, these markets force me to speak Italian which is a rarity since this city flourishes with English speaking people and establishments.

Florence / Area

Santa Croce piazza is a cultural hub. This massive square hosts a variety of events from concerts (for all you George Michael fans) to German Christmas markets, in addition to it’s beautiful history-inside and out. To drop some names, venturing inside its ancient walls, one will find the tombs of Michelangelo, Galileo, Ghiberti and the false tomb of Dante. This photo depicts the annual German Christmas market where you can indulge in mulled wine, the best fucking sausages of your life, ornaments, and countless hand made crafts.
