About Fiesole
An ancient village perched on a hillside that is eternally green with cypress and larch trees, Fiesole dates from the Etruscan period. During the roman era it grew enormously, and the huge walls, amphitheater and baths are still there today as proof of past splendors.
Fiesole and its citizens are proud of the fact that they have their own mayor and bishop, and an autonomous cultural life. The town overlooks Florence, affording splendid view from the Monastery of S. Francesco, or from the belvedere on Via Verdi.
Seen from above Florence is indeed superb: "it takes on an order and proportions that make it one of the most beautiful cities in the world2 (George van Straten). But even the view from the other side of the old town are magnificent, here the hills, clad in olive groves are gentle and rolling. In the background, cypress and pine forests are surrounded by soft, bluish light - a living Renaissance fresco.
