Se qualcuno mi dice \u2018Firenze\u2019 la prima cosa che mi viene in mente \u00e8 fuggire via. Firenze, a volte, io la guardo e mi sembra diventata un luogo comune, un clich\u00e9 inventato per far contenti i turisti. Firenze per la nave da crociera \u00e8 il percorso di due ore, per gli amanti clandestini \u00e8 la citt\u00e0 di un fine-settimana, per le famiglie sono i musei delle vacanze di Pasqua, per le gite scolastiche \u00e8 il capitolo sul Rinascimento, per gli animi malinconici \u00e8 lo struggimento della sindrome di Stendhal. Io, da questa Firenze, ho continuamente voglia di scappare e forse mi piace proprio perch\u00e9, poi, quando sono fuggita via dai luoghi comuni, \u00e8 cos\u00ec bello aver nostalgia di questa citt\u00e0! Firenze, per chi ha voglia di scappare, ha molte vie di fuga: per alcune ci vuole un mezzo di trasporto, per altre, invece, basta un paio di scarpe comode.
\n
\nSi pu\u00f2 fuggire nel Mugello e visitare le ville Medicee<\/a>, fare lunghe escursioni sui crinali di montagna, trovare un\u2019osteria per mangiare tortelli di patate e bere dell\u2019ottimo vino. Oppure ci si pu\u00f2 fermare sulla via Bolognese e visitare il parco di villa Demidoff. Si pu\u00f2 attraversare la val di Sieve, percorrere l\u2019antica via dei Setteponti che nasconde incantevoli pievi romaniche e arrivare fino ad Arezzo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ma mi piace anche osservare Firenze dall\u2019alto delle terrazze dei grandi alberghi del centro storico, in compagnia di un prosecco. Quando sboccia la primavera, a mezz\u2019ora di camminata dal centro storico, mi piace andare al giardino dell\u2019Orticoltura<\/a> con un buon libro, davanti alla serra ottocentesca. O guardare il profilo di Firenze dal muretto di via Trento. Le vetrine di via Tornabuoni sono per i ricchi, quelle di via Calzaiuoli per chi ha poca fantasia. Preferisco scappare in Borgo Pinti, da Mrs Macis<\/a>. E la sera gli spaghettini al pomodoro pi\u00f9 buoni del mondo li fanno i fratelli Briganti<\/a>. Oppure, tornando dal mare, alla fine della superstrada mi emozionano le luci accese che brillano lontano.<\/p>\n

Monica Magnani\u00b4s Florence<\/h2>\n

When someone mentions \u00abFlorence\u00bb, it prompts me to run away. I sometimes think of the city as a clich\u00e9 for tourists: to cruise travellers, as a two-hour tour; to clandestine lovers, just as a weekend; to families, it means seeing museums during the Easter holidays; to school trips, it is a chapter on the Renaissance; and to melancholic souls, Florence is the longing for Stendhal’s syndrome. I always want to escape from this Florence, although I later learn to love it. When I manage to leave those common places, I then feel a pleasant nostalgia for the city. Indeed, for those who want to flee from it, Florence offers many escape routes. For the purpose, one needs means of transportation or just a pair of comfortable shoes.<\/p>\n

One could go to the Mugello, either to visit the Medici villas<\/a>, for a long walk to the hilltops or to enjoy some tortelli di patate<\/em> with excellent wine in an osteria<\/em>. It is also possible to pause at Via Bolognese and discover the park of Villa Demidoff. Another option is exploring the valley of Sieve, tracing the beautiful Romanesque churches in the old Via dei Sette Ponti, on the way to Arezzo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But I also relish observing Florence from the terraces of the magnificent hotels of the historic centre with a glass of Prosecco. As spring blossoms, just half an hour away from the old town, I love stopping at the Giardino dell’Orticoltura<\/a> with a good book, especially close to the Ottocento<\/em>‘s greenhouse. There is also a great view of Florence from the wall of Via Trento. The shop windows of Via Tornabuoni are for the rich. Whereas those of Via Calzaiuoli, for people who tend to lack imagination. Preferably, I escape to Borgo Pinti, to Mrs Macis<\/a>. At night, the best spaghettini al pomodoro<\/em> is cooked at I Fratelli Briganti<\/a>. And as I return from the sea, I am always moved by the shining lights spotted in the distance, right at the end of the highway.<\/p>\n

La Florencia de Monica Magnani<\/h2>\n

Si alguien me menciona \u201cFlorencia\u201d, la primera cosa que me viene a la cabeza es salir corriendo. Florencia, a veces la miro y creo que se ha convertido en un clich\u00e9 inventado para hacer felices a los turistas. Florencia, para los viajeros de crucero, es el tour de dos horas por la ciudad; para los amantes clandestinos, la ciudad de un fin de semana; para las familias, los museos de las vacaciones de Semana Santa; para los viajes escolares, el cap\u00edtulo sobre el Renacimiento; para las almas melanc\u00f3licas, el anhelo del s\u00edndrome de Stendhal. Yo, de esta Florencia, siempre tengo ganas de escaparme, y tal vez me guste justamente porque despu\u00e9s, cuando he conseguido huir de los lugares comunes, resulta muy agradable sentir nostalgia de esta ciudad. Florencia, para los que quieren huir, ofrece muchas v\u00edas de escape: para algunas, se necesita un medio de transporte; para otras, sin embargo, solo un par de c\u00f3modos zapatos.<\/p>\n

Se puede huir al Mugello y visitar las villas de los Medici<\/a>, realizar largas caminatas por las cimas de las colinas o encontrar una osteria<\/em> en la que comer tortelli di patate<\/em> y beber un vino excelente. Tambi\u00e9n es posible detenerse en Via Bolognese y descubrir el parque de la Villa Demidoff. Se puede cruzar el valle di Sieve, que esconde hermosas iglesias rom\u00e1nicas, y llegar hasta Arezzo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pero tambi\u00e9n me gusta observar Florencia desde las terrazas de los hoteles imponentes del centro hist\u00f3rico, en compa\u00f1\u00eda de un buen Prosecco. Cuando florece la primavera, a media hora a pie del casco antiguo, me gusta ir al giardino dell’Orticoltura<\/a> con un buen libro, y sentarme frente al invernadero del Ottocento<\/em>. O contemplar el perfil de Florencia desde el muro de Via Trento. Los escaparates de Via Tornabuoni son para los ricos; y los de Via Calzaiuoli, para aquellos con poca imaginaci\u00f3n. Yo prefiero huir a Borgo Pinti, a Mrs Macis<\/a>. Por la noche, los spaghettini al pomodoro<\/em> mejores del mundo los preparan en I fratelli Briganti.<\/a> Y, cuando vuelvo de la costa, al final de la autov\u00eda, siempre me conmueven las luces de Florencia brillando a lo lejos.<\/p>\n
