We were in Florence on the day of the Paris terror attack on November 19, 2015. Immediately, we noticed the presence of heavily armed police and soldiers in all of the most tourist frequented areas of the city. It was somewhat unnerving for us, but we spent the last 4 days of our two week trip doing/seeing everything we planned. We traveled back to Milan by train to see Michelangelo's Last Supper and to catch out flight back to Boston. We saw many more heavily armed soldiers in Milan, but thankfully there were no incidents.
On this blog, I hope to give folks some inspiration and hints for traveling to Italy especially if that is a lifelong dream. We had no trouble reserving flights, buying train tickets, booking a tour or two and finding perfect lodging on our own. Be sure to click on all of the high-lighted links for a lot more great information. We have made four 14-17 day trips to Italy since 2011; we planned each trip from start to finish.-Barry DeCarli
