The bus eases out of Livorno's port at dawn, the Mediterranean light brushing the harbor cranes as you head inland toward a city that reshaped European art. By the time you pass olive groves and tiled roofs the Arno arrives — a low, steady pulse nudging you toward Florence’s stone bridges and piazzas. Your guide meets you at the city edge and the day folds open: narrow streets, church bells, and the first glimpse of Brunelleschi’s dome dominating the skyline.
