Far From the Madding Crowd in Fiesole
Today I was rummaging through old pictures and found some of Fiesole that I had to instantly share. Situated a mere 20 minutes drive from Florence in the Fiesolean Hills, this small town turns out to be a great spot to be from the madding crowd of Florence.
An Etruscan town that dates back to the 9th century, Fiesole can be easily reached by Bus no. 7 from Piazza San Marco, Florence.
Fiesole has everything that you would demand from an Italian town- quiant alleys, museums, ruins from the Roman times and several trattorias and gelaterias.

But most importantly, Fiesole has a certain peace and quietude for which it is known. Climb the hill from Piazza Mino da Fiesole that gets you the spectacular and picturesque view. (Picture below)
