Una Bella Notte

As I was leaving in a day or two, Firenze decided to hold a fireworks display in honour of me, which I thought was rather sweet. It happened to be St. John the Baptist’s day, too. We went down to the Ponte Vecchio, listened to the singer there and watched the sunset. We walked a little way along the river as the fireworks began. There were people EVERYWHERE, lining the streets on both sides of the Arno, and spilling out of the Uffizi area. The fireworks were lit from the Piazza Michelangelo, and were stunning, going on forever, with a big gold, red, white and green finale.









Evening on the Ponte Vecchio. My camera was in the wrong mode, so my fireworks pics are rubbish.
