On my way to the Duomo, I peeked at the colorful shop windows along Via Cerratani. As summer holidays begin, more people weave in and around Florence’s piazzas and streets. When I spotted a large tour group advancing toward me, I swiftly turned right onto Piazza dell’Olio.

I walked down the shady one-way street, where city buses rattled on the uneven stones. The small restaurant on the left was closed, while two employees were setting the tables on the terrace of another restaurant.

When I reached Via dei Pecori, I paused next to a row of parked bicycles to wait for two cars to pass. A food delivery cyclist sped as I stepped onto the street. After glimpsing how the buildings framed the Battistero, Duomo, and Campanile di Giotto in Piazza San Giovanni, I stopped. Without a single car or pedestrian in sight, I stopped to cherish this moment.

For months, I had hoped to see this unhindered view, but normally taxis park on the right while cars, motorini, and bicycles zip by. I didn’t think it would have been possible to capture it after navigating the crowded sidewalks.

As a car approached, I hurried to the sidewalk and walked toward Via Roma, where I stood for a few more moments to savor the view.

With my iPhone close to my chest, I continued my walk home.
