This guide is for those who want to blend in with the locals in Florence, Italy during the 15th century. Remember, no selfies, no selfie sticks, and for the love of God, do not wear a fanny pack.
Architecture is key to blending in. Think grand, sweeping lines, and lots of marble.
Art, particularly drawing, is a must.
Fashion is, of course, a given. Think ornate, think ostentatious, think 'I'm-a-rich-and-fancy'
When in Florence, do as the locals do. Visit the Duomo, but do not, I repeat, DO NOT, take a selfie in front of it. The locals will hate you.
Avoid anything with a flat roof, as it's a sign of poor breeding. Go for grand, sweeping curves, like the Ponte Vecchio.
Remember, it's all about the columns. Lots and lots of columns. Like, seriously, it's a column party.
When in Florence, do as the locals do. Visit the Uffizi, but do not, I repeat, DO NOT touch the art. The locals will have your hands for a souvenir.
Avoid anything with a flat surface, as it's a sign of poor technique. Go for grand, sweeping brushstrokes, like the masters.
Remember, it's all about the details. Lots and lots of details. Like, seriously, it's a detail party.
When in Florence, do as the locals do. Wear lots of velvet, and lots of lace. And, of course, a nice, plump ruff.
Avoid anything with a flat, plain color, as it's a sign of poor breeding. Go for grand, sweeping colors, like the sunsets on the Arno River.
Remember, it's all about the drama. Lots and lots of drama. Like, seriously, it's a drama party.
