The jeep idles as the sun slips behind the rounded hills outside Florence; headlights slice through cork oaks and cypress, and the forest exhales its first night sounds. You move on narrow tracks where moonlight pools between trunks and the air carries the dry, herbal scent of scrub and olive groves.
