We started and ended our walks around Florence today by visiting the homes of the Middle Ages Palazzo Davanzati and the apartment of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. The Davanzati house was built in the 1300's and is a wonderful museum of the lifestyle of a noble family from that period. The furnishings and wall decorations were very lovely - sorry we couldn't take photos inside, but there is one "borrowed" from the internet. We walked through Dante's neighborhood, heard nuns and monks sing at the Badia and visited the Santa Croce Leather School. Later in the afternoon some of us crossed over the river to visit the former residence of the Brownings - Casa Guidi - which can actually be rented for a stay - three bedrooms with baths, kitchen, living room and dining room. They lived in Florence for 14 years and Elizabeth died here in 1861. Another interesting day in Firenze! More later . . .Ciao!
