Two cities, so different in their location and the art forms they create, have recently bonded over sadly shared similarities. While Florence is known for its art and architecture, and New Orleans for being the birthplace of jazz music, both are symbolic of arts capable of erasing borders and transcending languages. Epicenters for creativity and culture, both cities have also been victims of disastrous flooding. Both have felt defeated and both have unfalteringly made efforts to overcome defeat.
