Florence travel plans
If you go to http://giubileo.comune.fi.it/en/frame.htm and click on itineraries on the right, you can find some great Florence travel plans based on different themes. For example the Dante travel plan features buildins that Dante would have known, including "the Baptistery of San Giovanni, where Dante was christened and where he hoped in vain to receive the poet's crown he knew to be his due (Par. xxv, 1-9)."
Then there's Palazzo del Bargello, built in 1255, where "Dante's banishment for Florence was proclaimed." And the tour goes on with more buildings and some art featuring Dante. And of course there are other travel plans:
MICHELANGELO IN FLORENCE, BRUNELLESCHI'S FLORENCE, RENAISSANCE CHAPELS IN FLORENCE, FLORENCE AND THE MEDICI, SAN NICCOLO', FRESCOES OF THE LAST SUPPER, and OLTRARNOIt makes for some great reading but I'm sure the sightseeing would be even better!
