Florence - Cars

When I think of Italian cars two conflicting cars come to mind. There's the Ferrari and its super sleek, super powerful cousins. And there's Fiat (short for Fix It Again Tony, or so they say). While in Italy, I certainly saw sleek sporty cars like the Ferrari. and I saw a lot of Fiats. But the cars that really captured my imagination were the hyper efficient micro cars. Obviously, there's a bunch of them on this page. Enjoy!

Above Florence and across the river is the Piazzale Michelangelo. I was wandering around up there one Saturday morning and ran into about a dozen wedding parties, all posing for pictures with the skyline of Florence in the background, and all with oriental brides and grooms. The Rolls and the Limo above were being used by a couple of them. I found out that Florence is viewed in Japan as a hugely romantic place to get married. So these wedding parties climb on a jet, come to Florence for the wedding, and return home. Most of the groups were in the 20 - 30 people range. Expensive wedding!
