The novel says that the disease rarely has a set symptoms appear at one time called «disease Stendhal» referring to the French writer Henri Stendhal caused by exposure to a dose ample of beauty, it has one sees Panel Tbehrh may even carry it to the perception that life has thrown into which resurrects a loss of balance then faint, and this is what happened to Stendhal when he visited the city of Florence for the first time in the nineteenth century. And had been due to the need for all young Belle wealthy as part of the general culture before her marriage and entering society.
The Florence (or: Verenze firenze in Italian) is one of the three most important cities on the tourist must be had in addition to the contemporary Rome and Venice in order to note the extent of diversity among different regions in Italy. The fact that he can not disappoint any tourist destination wherein Born Renaissance in Europe, which changed the way we look to the modern world because it is full of treasures of art and months paintings that we see in textbooks and museums frequented by hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world, and enjoy the atmosphere surrounded by gentle hills and farms and fruit orchards of grapes, and proof River «Arnaud» and it bridges antique from the days of the Roman and medieval and famous «old Bridge» where still sold the most beautiful jewelry and silverware for more than eight hundred years.

The first thing that struck me after I arrived in Florence that its narrow streets and the doors of the palaces of historical, features art upscale as if the city is a large museum has not changed its thing since the sixteenth century, and I remembered that one Mshaherha is Machiavelli, author of «prince», which was followed by politicians in the logo end justifies the means, but I went back quickly to the fact it has raised the sunset magician on the banks of the River Arno my imagination, and I understood why born love of beauty in Italy of this city, dreamy, not for the influx of millions of tourists to it these days and throw bottles of coca-Cola empty streets archeological.
