The Festa delle Rificolone is a traditional festival in Florence, Italy, usually held on the evening of September 7th each year. The festival dates back to the Renaissance and is a celebration of the birth of the Virgin Mary and a tribute to the farmers who come to the city on September 8th to sell their agricultural products and handicrafts. The main feature of the Lantern Festival is the lantern parade. Children will take to the streets holding paper lanterns of various shapes and bright colors, which are usually lit by candles or modern LED lights. Traditionally, these lanterns are made into various patterns, and sometimes children's own lanterns are also involved in the parade. This festival also has an interesting custom: children will try to "attack" other people's lanterns with blowpipes or other means to extinguish them, which is a way of celebration and game. The Florence Lantern Festival is not only an event to commemorate tradition and history, but also an opportunity for families and communities to come together and enjoy a happy time at night.

It was a pleasant experience where you get to see multiple attractions in Florence. The architecture was so special and unique. The opera museum was the best to my surprise. The only con is that there is not much to see in Saint Mary&#39;s cathedral.

The collection of the Uffizi Museum is too attractive. With the wonderful explanation of the tour guide Coco, we have more awareness of the collection of the museum among the four of us. It is worth mentioning that Coco&#39;s expertise is very strong. Looking at these famous paintings, it is really not understandable without the tour guide.

Pitti Palace is very worth a visit. I went to the Bobori Garden. Bobori Garden is average. But the Biyan Palace collection is rich and should be on the must-see list.

Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence

The Holy Cross is also a typical Florence church, with white as the background color and green facade as a color pattern. The square should be the largest in the city church, so it is very correct.
