Florence Journal
[Alyssa Carroll]

Florence Journal is a blog about moving to and living in Florence written by an American couple with two young children. They moved to Florence in September of 2005 and the blog is now in its second year (there are now over 200 articles). They write about what it takes to live here legally, food, Italian wine, art, travel tips, and things to do in and around Florence (among other topics!). There are also some great pictures in their photo albums. You can sign up for email alerts for when the site is updated, or leave them a comment on any of their posts.
