Masked and socially distanced, the tourists are coming back to Florence. In the main image, the tiny black specks in the sky are swallows. They too have come back, as they do faithfully every year. Perhaps I get a stronger feeling of hope from the swallows than from the return of the tourists, though both are part of the life of the city. In the main image, a few tourists line up to visit the newly cleaned up Baptistry. In the Pip, an even smaller contingent of tourists gets admitted to the Duomo's Belltower. HFF, everyone!

600 years old this year but not really looking its age, the Dome of Florence's cathedral basks in the evening light as seen from one of the side streets that lead into the Duomo Square. Please see on black.

Acquaintances exchange greetings in Prato's beautiful Cathedral square. In the PIP a side view of the most unusual feature of Prato's Cathedral: its beautiful outer pulpit. This detail really captures my imagination. It's easy to imagine a medieval preacher awing the congregation from up high, promising Hell's eternal fire to the sinners!

The clean up of the polychromous marble external decorations of Florence's Duomo has been taking years. In this shot, the restoration team had borrowed an industrial crane to work their painstaking magic on the corniche of intricate marble rosettes. A whale of a job!
