    Die Kunstvermittlerin Martha war sehr gut. Dass wir den Vorzug hatten, in nicht zugängliche Bereiche zu kommen, war interessant. Der Palazzo Vecchio ist ja riesig! Das Mittagessen ist gute toskanische Hausmannskost ohne Schnickschnack. Sehr nettes Lokal. Hat alles gepasst. Ein gelungener Vormittag.
