Dear Editor,
I thought that I would take the time to write you a positive note. I know all too often editors hear what readers feel is not working right, and people don’t take the time to write about when something is …

Dear Editor,
From March 19 to
March 23, 2012, I participated in the meeting Domes in the World, held in
Florence. As a Belgian citizen teaching mathematics in Brussels, the capital of
Europe, I was concerned about visiting Italy because of what movies and …

Dear Editor,
I first visited Florence 15 years ago with my wife on a week long-vacation. We enjoyed the visit so much that we fell in love with both the town and Tuscany. Consequently, we have returned almost every year and have …

Dear Editor,
There seems to be a rumour out there that the Paperback Exchange is closing.

We are indeed sorry that other bookstores in Florence are closing, but Paperback Exchange is not.
We have no intention of closing. Despite the current …

Editor's note: In TF 151, we ran a story about a divorce and custody case involving alleged international child abduction. We ran the story because we believe it is important to chronicle events that touch on issues that affect the Florence …

Dear Editor,
The cultural power and
majesty of Italy contrasts sharply with the competency of its
judicial procedure. It seems as though the ‘facts' that were

Dear The Florentine,
Many readers faithfully stop in at our bookshop near the Duomo to pick up their copy of The Florentine, and say hello, and occasionally, thank you. Many, also, thankfully, buy a book or two from us.
One lovely, breezy afternoon …

Dear The Florentine

Dear
Editor,
I
was hoping, during my month in Florence this summer, to escape (however,
briefly) from America and its low-brow obsessions. To look at paintings rather
than watch television. To have face-to-face conversations in a piazza rather
than computer-mediated conversations over Facebook. So when I learned …

Mosque in Florence
Dear Editor,
I
am one of those rare Australians who come to Firenze not for the three days
between Rome and Venice but for weeks at a time for reasons to do with neither
tourism nor business. I always read The Florentine while here and …

If
these White Night events were truly all about culture, I'd be a fan. But in my

that I suffer through most weekends. A massive crowd of astonishingly drunken
students and …
