FLORENCE: AN OPEN-AIR MUSEUM

 

"There could be no better place than Europe to celebrate this year's Europe Day. Florence is the city of the Renaissance—the place where it all started. [...] From Florence, the spirit of the Renaissance spread across Europe. After every crisis, a European Renaissance followed, and this is what Europe needs in our days and age."

Mrs. U. von der Leyen, May 6th, 2021
