You can feel it in the air: summer has started in Florence, and the piazzas, parks and vicoli are teeming with people enjoying life alfresco.
Then there are those just barely surviving the heat and humidity, which is why this issue contains a two-page special on the hottest cool spots that Florence has to offer.
We also offer a round-up of Tuscany’s music festivals, a taster of the free-to-download digital guide to summer music in the region, coming soon from The Florentine (theflr.net/summermusicguide).
