Golden Apartment in Florence

Twelve million euros for 450 square meters, with a 70 square meter panoramic patio. Their pay per square meter is almost 27,000 euros. We are in Florence, in the Palazzo Portinari Salviati on the Via del Corso, where Dante Alighieri is rumored to have met Beatrice, but the price is more than that of an apartment on the île Saint-Louis, in the middle of the Senna, in the heart of Paris. Enjoy an amazing view of the Brunelleschi dome and the Torre di Arnolfo from the panoramic terrace. Which would you rather see: the Sacre-Coeur of Montmartre or the Eiffel Tower?

The highest man in the world …

That’s right, Florence also holds this record …. obviously I am kidding but not entirely. We take a step back and precisely in the years 1764-1766, when the HMS Dolphin (Delfino) of the Royal Navy commanded by Captain John Byron managed to circumnavigate the terrestrial globe, a company that is not really easy for those times. The deeds of the English captain Byron impressed the Grand Duke of Tuscany Pietro Leopoldo, especially those who told the events of the people of Patagonia, inhabited by gigantic beings. The first Europeans to meet this population of giants were the Portuguese of Ferdinando Magellano and the description of this meeting was written by an Italian …. Antonio Pigafetta one of the few survivors returned home from the long journey. This is the report of the meeting with the giants of Patagonia from the book published in 1524 “” … starting from here we reach up to 49 degrees to the Antarctic.
