The climate in this area of Italy can be hot and humid during the high summer months and the best times to visit are spring and autumn when temperatures are less extreme. It rains more between November and March, and winter weather can be chilly although this is a good time to visit as the city is less crowded.
Florence Nightingale, famous for revolutionizing the field of nursing, was named for the city of her birth and in 1339 Florence became the first city in Europe with paved streets.
