FLORENCE ON TV on the program EASY DRIVER
Saturday, January 13th at 11:40 on Rai Uno Italian Television, the program Easy Driver will devote its fourth episode to the city of Florence, to its historic center, to its wonderful surroundings and to the Florentine handicraft. The visit starts at Piazza della Signoria in Florence in search of the secret of a mystery graffiti by Michelangelo on the access ramp to Palazzo Vecchio. A few steps place Michelangelo apart from a contemporary artist, Urs Fischer, the author of a gigantic sculpture that has divided the Florentines between traditionalists and modernists.
