My second time in Florence with too much Chianti

"As I was standing on the Piazzale Michelangelo I looked down at Florence covered in the lights of the night and I realized I'm only a small piece of the universe. If I disappear nothing will change. No one will know. And yet if every star refuses to shine the sky will become a dark hole above us."

Author's note:

It's a short piece from my first travel essay about Florence. I would post the whole essay, but it just works better with the photos so if you're interested you can read it on my blog "Despicable Diary On the Run"
