If your answer is "yes!" then this is the site for you.

A visit to Florence can be daunting and overwhelming if you're not sure where to go or what to do … or it can be magical and full of excitement and beauty.

We are Elyssa and Alessandro. We live in Rome and we visit Florence often.

Alessandro once lived in Florence as well.

Let us share with you our knowledge of Florence and what we love about it so much.

Elyssa Bernard and Alessandro Bisceglie, Site Owners and Publishers, Rome, Italy residents and frequent Florence visitors

We live near Florence, and really know the city, on the ground.

We love to explore its art, architecture, culture, food, shopping, hidden gems, and much more.

Thanks to its proximity to Rome (only 1.5 hours by fast train!) we visit often and have friends here.

We love to explore all its nooks and crannies every chance we get.

Thanks to our Romewise website, we know the kinds of questions you have when you are planning your holiday or are already here.

And that's why we made this website. For you. So come on in and start exploring!
