There’s a gorgeous, small (relatively speaking) palazzo across the street from il Duomo, and I walk by it almost daily. I always admire it.

This lovely palazzo is often overlooked;  it loses attention because it faces the Piazza del Duomo, where it is overshadowed by the razzle-dazzle of the cathedral complex.

October is a beautiful month in Firenze, the days are bright and sunny, the evenings are fresh and cool, and the crowds are much diminished.  The latter is the best factor of all!

The October sunshine shone brightly on this palazzo recently, making all of its delicate decorative features stand out in strong relief.

It is definitely work while to stop and take notice of the lovely features of this bello palazzo.
