Piazza della Repubblica, Florence

"The city centre is full of things to see (and to listen to) packed in a small space, and it is easily crossable with a pleasant walk. The sounds to focus on are many, and they belong to very different categories. Past and present blend, with horses and chariots riding side by side with taxis and buses, and you can listen to different languages, foods and craftsmanships. A sometime chaotic but always intelligible soundscape that tells many stories to those who walk with open ears."

Recorded by Valerio Orlandini.
