Advantages: Your Florence experiance will be complete by seeing this attraction. Disadvantages: NONE
, for the bell tower and the Dome, with the Catherdral it self being Free entry , if you were to do all of the sites i could would probably be no more than 25 euros. I think most parts are open daily 8:30-7:30 apart from sundays wich they are closed.
My verdict -
I went to florence for a weekend break last summer and seen most of the major attractions but by far "il duomo" was the most breath taking and amazing site i saw. It was funny because florence is so built up you can walk around the corner and it can become out of site , as we were following directions to the duomo. You can hardley see it intill it is right in front of you. Which i think made the impact even bigger. The beauty of the Duomo and sheer size almost brought a tear to my eye. It captures your mind as you slowly walk around it in awe. Definiately a must see for anyone going to ...
Advantages: It's Pizza! Disadvantages: Too much oil
Dr Oetker's is a German family firm, founded in 1891 originally producing baking powder. They began selling frozen pizzas in Germany in 1970 and brought the Ristorante range to the UK in 2002.
Varieties available:
• Mozzarella
• Speciale (Ham and Salami)
• Pollo (chicken)
• Hawaii (Ham and pineapple)
• Funghi (mushroom)
• Quatro Formaggi (four cheese)
• Prosciutto (prociutto ham)
Usually I eat Pizzas in restaurants or occasionally from a take away place such as Dominos. I am not really a fan of shop bought pizzas finding the base sometimes has the taste and texture of soggy cardboard, and the toppings a bit stingy and never getting to the edge. A while back I tried Dr Oetker's Bistro range which were small lunchtime sized pizza baguettes, so upon my last visit to Sainsburys I purchased ...
Film only review.
Il Postino (1994)
Director: Michael Radford
Stars: Philippe Noiret, Massimo Troisi, Maria Grazia Cucinotta
Not to be confused with the wholly inferior Kevin Costner vehicle with the same name (Il Postino means "The Postman" - US title), this charming Italian language film won an Academy Award for Original Music Score and was nominated for five other awards including Best Director, Best Actor (Massimo Troisi) and Best Picture.
The film is based on an adaptation of a Spanish language novel, Ardiente Paciencia by Antonio Skarmeta and is based partly on real life events that happened to the 1971 Nobel Prize for Literature winning poet, Pablo Neruda. Neruda (1904-1973), known as el poeta del amor (the poet of love), famed for his beautiful love poetry, and was also famous for his political poetry and activism ...
