After doubling during the 19th century, Florence’s population was to triple in the 20th, resulting from growth in tourism, trade, financial services and industry.

After a while in this absorbing city, you might want to do the same. You’ll duck into a random church to escape the heat only to spend two hours staring at an impossibly pure blue in a fresco.
