This is the season I like the best and Florence glories in the autumn sunshine. Here are some views to show my point!
Zeffirelli Foundation, Florence

But a trip to Cortona is a must for any art lover. One of the most beautiful altarpieces by Fra Angelico resides in the fine, small Diocesan Museum in Cortona. Here it is:
