Summer 2007 in Florence has a brand new name, Fi-Esta, when the historical areas of Florence stage leading-edge exhibitions showing fusions among dance, theatre, music and cinema, all together all the art forms to open the old city to new resonances from art influences.

Lively squares are the main attraction – like Easy Living in Santo Spirito, the most pictoresque square in Florence blooming with open-air bars and live music ranging from Irish country music to Classic Symphonic Concerts. The event was opened by a Muse Live Concert in Piazzale Michelangelo, and now will continue with Roberto Benigni reading Dante’s Inferno on Friday July the 20th.

Forte Belvedere, Fiesole, Piazzale Michelangelo…and many other evocative areas, inviting travellers to participate to the social and cultural life of the city, becoming Florentine, even only for a summer…so you can miss the best hotel deals in Florence!
