[rotenburk]

0:48 thumbs up if you want to climb and do a leap of faith.

[Suikastify]

i went there with my school class...(am from germany)....

i just love roman architecture and the cities in the south of france and italy^^

[fingo92]

too much ignorance in this world..

[DennisXCXC]

I've climbed that building before!

[SpainOneManShow]

great video! Checkout my channel for more great travel videos!

[zaidred]

LOL im here cuz of ACreed

[CloudX100]

But the real question is: will the guards arrest you if you run on the rooftops?

[krzysiek74]

Kocham Florencję i ACF Fiorentinę!

[13Psycho13]

@fuckedup610:

Are you gonna climb buildings when you there ?

Actually it's very handy to have played assassins creed before heading there.

That way you already know some places and you recognize it

[fuckedup610]

It would have been more awesome if I had visited Florence before playing AC2.

[matterhorn6]

rick stein ?

[0704madorigal]

l love Florence The whole city is like an art museum ♪

[enescover]

Hahahaha Assassin's Creed II

[Antralian]

@enescover Is sad to see americans writing only "assassin creed" and forgetting the millenarian city, the contribution to the West and the Renaissance...*sigh*

[puiselo]

assassin creed FTW

[higareda55]

i wonder if italians complain about assassin's creed...

[MrBulletproof87]

@higareda55 Nope why? The only thing that upset me is the average joe thas in every video about Italy says: lol ezio.

[Wielaica]

Don't they have BLUE in Florence?

[MrBulletproof87]

@Wielaica What's blue?

[denniscallan]

Thanks for the music suggestion. I am using "legal" music for which I purchase the permission, so it is a challenge to find the right music for Italy. There are limited sources of legal music available. If anyone has copyright-free Italy music please let me know, thanks.

[suraah]

Nice clip :-) Just one little thing, I hope you don't mind me saying that the music used in most documentaries about Italy is that used in Southern Italy (here it surprised me while I was watching the clip (3:07). Italy has got 20 regions and the Italians who live in the middle (Tuscany and other regions) or in the north, have different traditions and music. Boccherini's music would be great for this clip for instance (he was from Tuscany).

[Gamer07011999]

The building from Assassin's Creed 2 is real

[Freakybranstyles]

@Gamer07011999 Gee thanks for the info :P

[IlRezzonico]

I went in August 2010 - too hot (38 C) and too many tourists. Go in January!

The best way to see the place is by bicycle - a good place to rent from is "Florence by Bike", in Via San Zanobi. But make sure you lock it and remove all detachable stuff when you leave it.  I had the trip computer stolen.

[MrRock0134]

By reading the comments, I guess I'm not the only one who came based on Assassin's creed's Awesomeness

[MrRock0134]

@SerkanTuncel00

So sad for you..truly

[Condom007of007Solace]

I wonder if there's any total idiots out there that would go to Florence and go around and trying to climb the buildings... LOL

[MrGiagio93]

I live near Florence =), but i've visited it only a few times XD

[Phaetheius]

Lol asian tourists.....

[MrBangCoi]

Requiescat in pace, my love..

Ezio

[dadoneftu]

Firenze , magnifica città , cuore rinascimentale

[aa3gunner]

Ezio Auditore da Firenze was here.

"Meglio essere felici in questa vita, di sperare di esserlo, e la prossima. Requiescat in pace."

[finalfan321]

good memories :ç

[caohanlu]

there seems to be A LOT of Asian tourists

[huy405]

anybody see ezio?

[huy405]

holy shi.t it just like assassin creed 2

[treyvs360]

@huy405 Yeah honestly stop copying other people's comments...You know which I'm talking about the one in San Gimignano, Italy video.. This is real life not fucking Assassin's creed...

[huy405]

@treyvs360 make me

[arrivederciliebe32]

@huy405 I like your perception. I really want to climb a building right now, just to feel good then maybe a leap of faith.

[MegaAlexMk]

feta cheese is indeed greek and we love it !

[mrtundra45]

Thumbs up if the awsomeness of Italy brought you here!

[dadunatihati]

Very nice made video

[mrtundra45]

Americans vist Italy and want to go eat @ KFC....oh lord, save them!

[jjordan89481]

It is funny as hell so many people are looking up italian cities on youtube because of Assassin's Creed.

[hotdogman67]

@jjordan89481

Lol, it sure is.

[exitpc]

@jjordan89481 What is"Assassin's Creed" ?

I always meet this name in my search to Italy's places...

[CaptainStefanLovric]

@exitpc assassins creed is a game and u should really play it

[OpenGLSecond]

@exitpc u should play assassin's creed 2...

[akerbie]

I meant to say,... no one said it was italian,.. the cheese I mean. Oops!

[ThemKneeGrows]

question. if you pause at 3:45 and wait a second for the guy on the left to move out of the way, what is that grayish looking tower? I do not remember it from when i was there.. its also not in assassin's creed so it must be newer :P

[MrSegheANastro]

@ThemKneeGrows

That's the tower of "Palazzo Vecchio" and unless you've been there before XIV sec. it was in Florence even when you visited it :)  Maybe you don't recognize it cause it's sorrounded by refurbishment scaffolding. In AC2 it's the place where Ezio's father was imprisoned before they killed him.

[paintballer9110]

Thumbs up if Ezio brought you here.

[buwg]

@paintballer9110 yeah assassions creed 2 shows the greatness of how italy can be full of art

[GrecianPrince]

@paintballer9110 guilty :)

[fingo92]

@paintballer9110 fuck you and ezio...from italy

[bullyfan4]

@fingo92 So we respect your country and you still say fuck you? Wow.

[fingo92]

@bullyfan4 you respect my country??you know florence only because a stupid shit of videogames....my country is like a museum at open, stop play videogames and make a travel to know the real history...and fuck off ezio

[bullyfan4]

@fingo92 Yes I know that. The video game made me want to look at it more, which is I'm here you fucking douche. Fuck off, cunt.

[fingo92]

@bullyfan4 die in your ignorance ;)

[bullyfan4]

@fingo92 Please tell me, how the fuck am I ignorant?

[OpenGLSecond]

@paintballer9110 0:42 THEY SAW EZIO!

[tobiasbas]

Thumbs up if you have climbed these buildings with Ezio.

[NewbsGalore]

ezio scaled most of those buildings. no big deal.

[bularis]

come on dudes let it go ok he said feta so what.....this means that in greece we can not eat pizza....... greece is not the center of the world..... dont act like every other country is trying to copy us!!!!!!!! you are making your country look bad

[izabelfranca2009]

fantastico eu viajo aqui na net e só assim pra mim conhecer seu pais ,eu não entendo outra lingua a não ser o portugues.

[jaysmic24]

hey! its filippo from jerseylicious! at 2:42!

[ThePsychoGamer1337]

@13thApo i think he means it was MADE in Italy you need to chill dude

[13thApo]

at 2.46 the stupid italian waiter said "feta is a very good italian cheese"!!! in which planet you live you moron?????FETA is GREEK CHEESE!!!

[italianpride9]

@13thApo

dude chill out its just FUCKING CHEESE + italian cheese is way better than greek cheese..all thought greek food its not bad

[farahelsaher]

@13thApo" feta may not necessarily have its origins in Greece, despite claims that it has been around for some 6,000 years. Certainly it is a new (as opposed to ancient) Greek word stemming from tyrifeta (meaning cheese slice) and originally deriving from the Italian word fetta, meaning slice of food".

[surrected4526]

Lovely!

[MonkeyPieshaha]

Saluto!! Acido scoreggiare, Dov'e il bango?

[MrStudcharlie]

too early for espresso

[Snoopysboobies]

Why would you go to McDonalds in Italy?

[reyshakquit]

@Snoopysboobies to eat a Feta cheese burger

[1AceDeuce]

@Snoopysboobies I did it was good lol

[JimmyTheGreek2000]

@Snoopysboobies

Because you are an American ... and have no taste in food !!

[TickleMehNancy]

@JimmyTheGreek2000 are you fucking stupid that person is saying you shouldn't go to mc donalds. This is why your country can pay its debt because it is full of idiots like you.

[mrtundra45]

@TickleMehNancy greece cant pay its debt because of the jewish loan sharks and the corrupt EU

Terrible system.

[rrbond07]

@Snoopysboobies When your tour guide only gives you a few minutes your only option is McDonalds. Besides, you sometimes have a lot of elderly on the tour who don't like to walk all that much, so I find out from the tour guide where to meet the bus and the time, then I take off for my own sight seeing. I normally pick up some bread and lunch meat and keep on walking.

[StefaniaDCM3]

@Snoopysboobies in italy you should eat Pasta, Pizza and all our specialty =D

[mer1690]

@Snoopysboobies cause they have potato wedges

[ArsenalProFan]

where is Ezio ? u didnt meet him ? he is a really cool guy from Florence

[vashdennerada4]

ever since AC 2 iv wanted to go there and venice !

[jponsillo]

@vashdennerada4 been to venice 3 times, favourite place in the the world. AC2 got it bang on. Theres really no room for anything else so its hardly changed in 500 years!

[smh2188]

You missed Santa Croce!!! :(

[brutechieftan]

[natashaNS17]

[lucadefran]

@natashaNS17 my hellenic friend I agree, there are many cheeses better than feta in Italy....ciao

[natashaNS17]

@lucadefran yes but feta cheese is greek........... it's NOT Italian....... that's all I say..... Imagine me saying "enjoy the best capuccino in Thessaloniki..." I can't say it... it's Italian.... :)

[lucadefran]

@natashaNS17

Are you from Thessaloniki-Salonicco?

[lucadefran]

@natashaNS17 I love Greece and its culture

[HockeyGirl514]

Thanks fivehead333 ! Will keep that in mind =)

[76johnnyg]

Feta cheese is not Italian ! It 's a GREEK cheese !!!

[YoSoyZuri]

@76johnnyg ... I eat a lot of Ricotta and Mozarella!! :D

[farahelsaher]

@76johnnyg "feta may not necessarily have its origins in Greece, despite claims that it has been around for some 6,000 years.

[2009stalker]

@76johnnyg -- duhh he said that at 2:42

[akerbie]

@76johnnyg He did say it was a greek salad. No one said it was greek.

[LaMiaLunaGothika]

[ratchetuya]

[kickit501]

0:49 is on assassins creed 2

[nederlandsepizza]

[grenadegoezboom1]

@nederlandsepizza lol ur right

[HockeyGirl514]

Im going to Florence this summer and I cant wait !! Not sure if I should go with the group tour so I dont have to worry about getting lost but if its pretty much easy to get to places then I guess I can manage by myself...which takes planning ahead and lots of reseach about "know how" and stuff but Im sure I'll have a great time =)

[quandore]

florence isn't really big, it's a small town, i don't think you have to worry about it ;)

[HockeyGirl514]

Quandore-- Ok. Thanks for the advice =)

[crazyTdude]

the only reason i watch this is cuz assassin's creed 2 pwns and the game very acurate

[TheMba58]

[carly81]

We have a modern high speed train (300 km/h): so you can reach milan from florence within 2 hours: or in 1 hour you can reach bologna. the line cover the tract from salerno to milan and turin (more than 800 km). the line reach venice too.

[grendel576]

i have been there and i live in sweden

[steitaly11]

Florence fantastic city !!!!

[Anamika2505]

Thnx for the lovely video refreshed memories we visited Italy in the beginnng of July 2009 a guided tour of 8 days including Napoli-Capri Islands, Florence, Sienna, San Gimignano, Sirmione, Rome, Venice, Tivoli gardens, Vesuvius, and many small but beautiful places we stopped to admire the beauty of nature.

[hopeurfree]

Florence, rough? We've traveled to Italy 5 times, it is the only city we make sure to visit each time we go. It is small enough to see it by foot and the Museums are out of this world. The Medici Family's Pitti Palace is unmatched in beauty. Anyone going to Italy must go to Florence. See the works of Michelangelo and Leonardo Davinci.

[bobtheman19]

in florence 2 weeks ago nice city but a bit rough

[italianocazzuto]

are you sure was florence?or you just dreamed?

[MrBelmura]

I traveled Florence, Roma, Napoli, and Venezia. But the most moved land scape is the view from Park Michelangelo.

Uffizi Galleria also should be one of must visit. Finally sun set of Pontet Vecchio view from brige alle Grazie is also beautifull.

[amareto35]

I love their Latte machiato..

[MATTnROSEs]

im from florence.. im in the center every day.. and u can visit florence for art.. for nature.. thats fine.. but for food and shops.. u have to go out from center.. center is for turist chicken.. hotels are for turist chicken... thanks to u guys immigrants takes a lot of money

[FLACSC74]

Yeah, but even at the Novotel over by IKEA close to the airport they rob you as well. The only good one is IBIS next to NOVOTEL which is like what always 75 euro

[MATTnROSEs]

let me explain a thing.florence can be famous also for leather.. but at the shop of s lorenzo u can find only imitations and bad manifacture things selled by immigrants.. thats a bad thing of florence.. s lorenzo is the worst zone of the city.. for people,garbage,irregular sellers and pick pockets. also.. food in center sucks

[milkblackcoffee]

It is a very nice slideshow.

Thank denniscallan for sharing it with us.

I'm going to visit Florence next Month!! :)

[YvesMKnownAsYork]

Me too! =D

[zucchini2007]

My sister and I visited Rome, Florence, Venice, and Murano about 1 month ago. All of them were absolutely beautiful!! In Florence we saw a lot of amazing paintings by Botticelli, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and other artists from the 1400's. We also saw the Piazza del Duomo...I could just feel the MAJESTY of this building standing right in front of it. And the food is great, especially their gelatos.

[PIACEDAVID]

FLORENCE ....FORZA FIORENTINA

[hopeurfree]

nice video, well made.

[azaas]

Florence is amazing!!! If you have the chance to go over there some day, try not to stick just to the usual stops but give Santa Maria Dei Fiori [ or sm like that ] a visit ;)

[Leorockguitarist]

Santa Maria Del Fiore:p

[Alice757]

Oh, I was born in Florence. I agree, it's definately one of the most beautiful cities in the world. :)

Greetings from Trieste!:)

[Alicebaro]

I can see Florence every day! I love my city!!! =)

[OceanTY]

In want to go to Florence! Are there street performers?

[Darjo88]

Yes of course! :)

[zucchini2007]

There are street performers in every Italian city, I believe. I saw some in Florence, one in Rome, and even one in Venice.

[OceanTY]

Oh ok! I wanna go soooo BAD!

[sharwedah]

[Angelutente94]

You know, when you turn around you obviously see a lot of monuments! I live in Florence, is a fantastic place, ALL Florence is amazing, not only touristics places of this city, i think a person should stay least a week for visit it.

[shoegalsho]

OMG I went twice within four years it was beautiful! I have been desperate to go back ever since! The beauty just made me want to cry!

[secretpossesion]

gr8, if any Italian wants to marry me ill say "yes" immediately ;)

[juancamex]

I went to Florence cause i was amazed about the MEDICI family and their relationship with bruneleschi, boticceli, leonardo, michelangelo. I love Florence.

[TwiceRecorded]

[markok27]

[KingdomHeartsStorm]

Just got back from Florence yesterday.

I loved the piggy!

[36flamingo63]

to "eduvc": the unique thing i hate is the sufficiency of one young man when he mentioned another like "stupid", "old", etc. This young man classified hisself with these words... in any case, i hope you can arrive to 46.

That dont change things; if you are american, lets us - europeans - enjoy our differences
