Florentines stood in solidarity with Ukrainians, Russians, Americans and several other nationalities as Mayor of Florence, Dario Nardella, spoke from outside Palazzo Vecchio. He was joined by the Mayor of Athens, Kostas Bakoyannis, who was in Florence for the Mediterranean Forum, president of the Tuscany Region, Eugenio Giani, the Archbishop of Florence, Giuseppe Betori, and Rabbi of Florence’s Jewish Community, Gadi Piperno.
