Romantic art from the master of the Renaissance

Who cannot think of love when presented with the great romantic arts of the great masters of the Renaissance?

For more sculpture from the Renaissance, consider the Bargello Museum – formerly a fortress palace, it's now home to Italy's second largest sculpture display.

Two magnificent squares are the ideal stage for a romantic, hand to hand walk:

Piazza del Duomo, the ancient spiritual heart of the Florence, offers an outstanding view you won’t easily forget, especially if you go up Giotto’s bell tower and have a close look at Brunelleschi ‘s Dome that crowns the city.
