Grand Hotel Cavour Florence
Dec 03 2025

Day 1:

this was travel day, and I had a bunch of delays :), so it started early, getting to the airport at like 10:30 am EST, I landed in Florence 20 hours later, and my bag was still in paris. But it was expected to get in later that day, so I should get it sometime tomorrow morning. But upon landing, Me and my roomate met up at baggage claim, and then got a taxi, after filing the fact my bag was missing, we have a very energetic woman who was very kind and pointed out a lot of things to us on our drive. After checking in with our professors and the hotel itself the goal was to just stay awake, so we went to go get pizza and alcohol

After this we went back to the hotel and met up with another group of people on the trip and we just started wandering around with the goal of staying awake

After wandering around until it got to at least 6:30 PM, me and my roomate split off to go get gelato, and then headed back for the night. I forgot to take a photo of the gelato, i’ll get more later. But that’s the gist of day 1!

Scarpelli Mosaici - Artigianato Artistico e Mosaico Fiorentino
Dec 05 2025

Alright, it's time to start splitting these into sections.

the back of a piece, so you can see the wax and almost negative of the piece

These are from the Scarpelli Mosaici workshop, which we got to tour and ask some of the masters about how this craft is done, every one of the works is made by hand carved stone, this is an insanely buitiful medium that i'm very glad we learned about early on so we can spot it as we visit the rest of the musuems

Me and some friends then wandered around looking for somewhere to grab lunch and do some shopping, we also briefly visited the Leanardo Interactive Musuem, but we just looked around the gift shop, I want to go back, they had cool clocks
