You meet in Piazza Santa Croce, the stones radiating warmth as the guide gathers the group. Children lean forward when the guide taps a fresco on an iPad; the Arno murmurs nearby and seems to dare the little ones to chase its reflections across the Ponte Vecchio. This is a city designed to be read on foot—streets that curve, squares that open like chapters, and a dome that dominates the skyline.
