June 15 Empoli

 Yesterday was spent travelling, flying to Rome via Milan where we had the worst lunch meal we can remember, admittedly at the airport. We then picked up our car and drove 3 hours north to Empoli arriving after 10. Needless to say we were exhausted.

Today it’s 35 degrees so we took it easy, walking around the very quiet streets then enjoying a lovely lunch in a quiet Piazza Farinata Degli Uberti, named after a noble of Florence whom Dante thought was a heretic and mentioned him in his Inferno.

Across the square is the Mother Church of St Andrew

Beautiful restaurant setting. A hot day but with a coolish breeze.

Interesting street lighting plus rest places.
