Editor in Chief To Italians, Florence is the city ruined by tourism. American students flock there each semester to gawk at Michelangelo’s David, climb to the top of Brunelleschi’s Duomo or admire the gold-thread- ed Botticelli paintings in the Uffizi. Still others are content to sit on the banks of the Arno eating “authentic” gelato or paninis. But they do all that in a city almost completely devoid of Italians. The influx of foreigners, and the sky-high cost of living, has driven them all away; the only natives left in the city are restaurant and hostel workers. But if your heart is set on living in Dante and Da Vinci’s hometown, then do Florence right. The Oltrarno district (across the river) remains an Italian holdout. Take the time to actually visit Florence’s museums and order from a café where the waiters say “ciao” when you walk in the door. And you can’t beat Florence’s central location for exploring the rest of Italy; all the north- south trains go through the capital of Tuscany. You have easy public trans- port from Firenze to Rome, Venice, Cinque Terre, Bologna and the nature- friendly Tuscan hiking destinations besides. — Hayley Bisceglia-Martin Senior Staff Writer
