You can tell hotels in Italy cater to German tourists if they do a really big breakfast. The ones that don't, well, don't. I don't think I had any *bad* gelato the entire time I lived in Italy, but there are differences between FLorence/Rome/and Sicily in gelato. Apparently. I ate it every chance I got.
When we visited FLorence, our apartment was right around the corner from the Duomo. I have a picture looking out of our window and you can see the dome. The Baptistry was interesting inside - I want to say it was more primitive in painting style. But I might be confusing my churches ;)
And we loved the statues because we were not going to drag three unappreciative boys through the Uffizi. Not worth the money ! Where you saw the statues was the piazzi where we ate and I had the bread soup. Very yummy. But Florence food is so expensive!
If you ever get a chance, you should go to Sicily and to the markets there. Everyone sings, and calls out, and chats. Much friendlier than Florence!
