Florence: Iconic In Classicism

Behind the insatiable appetite of people Who come to see and appreciate The work of art in human history Lies the images and quality of faith. This beautiful city of Florence Where a kind of growth and civilisation Has kept the sentiment of tradition That carries with it all our admiration. It is the evidence of achievement That seems to paint with ever greater meaning. The finest features that renaissance offers To penetrate freedom recurrent in our existence. Described as classical and relevant To the life portraiture and human quest The statues, paintings, sculptures and other things A phallic prestige, a wonderful gift to our enrichment. How men and women of many backgrounds Come to stretch their imagination and insight To bind the common thread of commitment That establishes relationships, a language for inner heritage. Such an awesome sight to greet our eyes Those kinds of buildings, artifacts and many others Hard to think and explain the intense meaning That likely refer to the soul of human struggle. Viva Florence! The beauty of Europe! Its intimacy to human striving. An ebbing faith in its people, That draws to restore and revive into spectacle. Beautiful Florence! A very cosmopolitan place! Clearly memorable to reshape our appreciation. So immense that history unfolds In our understanding to value its significance.
