Piazza della Repubblica

Firstly, this was the centre of the ancient city of Florence, back in the days when togas were your only fashion option (all the best Roman influencers had one, darling). The column in the piazza marks the heart of the city, the very centre point of the ancient settlement, and it’s instantly photographic. Secondly, there’s a lot going on in the square, even if it might be partially scaffolded. There’s usually a lovely carousel plying its trade; perfect for a shot of you enjoying it, or just standing in front of it! And thirdly, if you’re here at the right time, the sun goes down directly behind the building at the top of the piazza. Capture some absolutely beautiful photos, with the last rays of sunlight streaming out!
