Built on the site of a Roman settlement, Florence, the symbol of the Renaissance, rose to economic and cultural pre-eminence under the Medici in the 15th and 16th centuries. Its 600 years of extraordinary artistic activity can be seen above all in the 13th-century cathedral (Santa Maria del Fiore), the Church of Santa Croce, the Uffizi and the Pitti Palace, the work of great masters such as Giotto, Brunelleschi, Botticelli and Michelangelo.

Behind Pitti Palace are the magnificent Boboli Gardens, created by the Medici family, establishing the Italian garden style that became a model for many European courts. These gardens, with their vast and orderly green expanse, serve as an outdoor museum, populated by ancient and Renaissance statues. The gardens feature grottos, including the famous grotto by Bernardo Buontalenti, and large fountains such as the Fountain of Neptune and the Fountain of the Ocean. The subsequent Habsburg-Lorraine and Savoy dynasties further developed the layout, extending the boundaries to the ancient city walls up to Porta Romana. In the beautiful terraced area, there is an 18th-century pavilion called the Kaffeehaus, a rare example of Rococo architecture in Tuscany, and the Lemon House built by Zanobi del Rosso between 1777 and 1778. The tour of the Boboli Gardens completes the visit to Pitti Palace, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the spirit of court life and enjoy the gardens, which, although constantly updated, remain true to their original design.

Directly behind Pitti Palace are the marvellous Boboli Gardens. The Medici family established the layout of the gardens, creating the Italian garden style that would become a model for many European courts. The vast green expanse with a regular layout is a real outdoor museum, populated by ancient and Renaissance statues. The Gardens are also adorned with grottos, the most important of which is the famous grotto realized by Bernardo Buontalenti, as well as large fountains, such as the Fountain of Neptune and the Fountain of the Ocean. The subsequent Habsburg-Lorraine and Savoy dynasties further developed the layout, extending the boundaries that flank the ancient city walls until Porta Romana. In the stunningly beautiful terraced area there is an 18th-century pavilion called the Kaffeehaus, a rare example of Rococo architecture in Tuscany, and the Lemon House built by Zanobi del Rosso between 1777 and 1778.

Orsanmichele is a unique Gothic building set into the very heart of Florence: splendid views of the old city are framed by the large biforas on the top floor. Built in the Middle Ages to house the city grain market, it was later transformed into a church, while the upper floor is now home to a museum of the great collection of sculpture coming from the building itself.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Being one of the main building of fourteenth century Florence, Orsanmichele houses on the ground floor the oratory dedicated to San Michele in Orto (hence the name), realized by closing the original loggia of the grain market, while on the upper floors there are two large halls, formerly intended as cereal warehouses of the cereals, built by the city government to guarantee food to the Florentines and avoid famine.

The Museo Nazionale del Bargello is located in Florence's oldest public building and houses the world's most important collection of Italian Renaissance sculpture. The museum features masterpieces by renowned artists such as Donatello, Verrocchio, the Della Robbias, Michelangelo, Giambologna, and Cellini.

Founded in 1255, the palace itself is a captivating monument. Initially built as Florence's first public building, it soon became the residence of the Podestà, the chief city magistrates, whose numerous coats of arms still adorn the courtyard walls. From the late 1500s, the building served as the headquarters for the "Bargello," the head of the city police, and was used as a prison for several centuries thereafter.

Borgo San Frediano, a major street in the area, was recently recognized by Lonely Planet as one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world, and the buzz from that honor is still evident in the district. However, the neighborhood's mix of artisan studios and its effortless blend of contemporary trends with traditional elements make it clear that San Frediano and its residents don't need a guidebook to affirm that their neighborhood is truly "ganzo" (Tuscan slang for "cool").

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Long the stomping grounds of artisans and bootstrapping workers, San Frediano is the eclectic southwest portion of the Oltrarno neighborhood in Florence.
Its exact geography can be nebulous, but via dei Serragli is its generally-agreed-upon eastern border, while the Porta San Frediano, the "gateway to Pisa", is its western entry point.

One of the area's main drags, Borgo San Frediano, was named by Lonely Planet as one of the world's coolest neighborhoods to explore just last year, and the excitement around that designation still permeates the district. But with its concentration of artisan studios and its seamless combination of trends and traditions, San Frediano and its people hardly need guidebook approval to know their neighborhood is ganzo (Tuscan slang for "cool").

Although San Frediano is famous and packs on the charm at every turn, it's generally not a stop for first-time tourists here for a few hours. If what you're seeking is a slower, less visitor-saturated section of Florence, teeming with trattorie, bars, boutiques and more-plus artistic treasures off the usual "top five" list-you'll find it all here.

Crossing over the Ponte alla Carraia from piazza Goldoni will take you right into the heart of the district. Veer right on Borgo San Frediano-that Lonely Planet "hip strip"-but first make a quick left into piazza del Carmine to pop in to the Brancacci Chapel in the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine, best known for its Masaccio frescoes, namely the Tribute Money and the Expulsion from Eden. (You're in Florence, after all: don't skip out on this neighborhood's top artistic attraction).

Wander east down via Santa Monaca and you'll land on the border-stretch of via dei Serragli, home to vintage and antique shops, cafes and curiosities. Circle back to the beginning of Borgo San Frediano and you'll have a host of restaurants and eateries to choose from come dining time. Ahead are a few of our favorites.

Two stops in particular on Borgo San Frediano vaunt that inimitable mix of Tuscan know-how and international innovation.
Pre-dinner, consider opting for "Tuscan-style tapas" at Gesto, a spot known for its super-social atmosphere and snack-size portions, great for ordering a few dishes and divvying them up with friends; you'll find some "remixed" Tuscan specialties as well as fare from beyond the Boot.

For something more familial and less fashion-y come dinner time, perhaps try cozy PassaGuai, where Florentine and Tuscan favorites come served with new spins, courtesy of the young chef.

Further down the same road, closer to the Porta San Frediano, you'll come upon B.O.R.G.O., a solid option if it's classic Tuscan you're craving. This no-frills spot has no cover charge and prides itself on using the finest fresh ingredients from around the local and regional territory. But just to mix things up a bit, their menu isn't divided into the standard antipasti, primi and secondi categories: here you can "have it your way", but with top-shelf ingredients exclusively.

Venture just a smidgen further off the beaten path and you'll come to La Bocca di Leone at the beginning of via Pisana: it's atmospheric and a delight for date night, though without the price tags of some similar spots more "downtown". The seasonal menu includes IGP Chianina dishes and other regional delicacies worth savoring with a loved one.

Wherever your wanders may take you in San Frediano, be sure to leave time to slow down and savor the experience. Hurrying and worrying have no place here!

Clet Abraham is a French street artist who studied at the School of Fine Arts in Rennes. He exhibited his art in various art galleries in Brittany, then in Rome and Paris before moving to Florence in 2005 where he still works today.

Among the most influential artists of his generation, Clet is the artist who hijacks road signs to create original artworks in bright colors that are always imbued with a certain humorous touch. His work is based on the criticism of the coldness of street signs, by bringing them a more human dimension that symbolize rules and order.

In the heart of the Oltrarno we find L'OV Osteria Vegetariana, with its mix of traditional dishes revisited for an osteria of yesteryear by chef Simone Bernacchioni. L'OV is for everyone: the menu, which changes seasonally, ranges from vegetarian and vegan dishes to those designed for those with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance. A real journey into taste, in a place where the past with the old white marble walls of the old fish market merges with a long moss-green counter and the most modern and colourful furnishings.

Tucked away among the many courtyards in the historic centre, the Brac bookshop is a place where sociability and good food meet. A multifunctional space that includes a contemporary art bookshop, a café and a kitchen where vegetarian and vegan dishes are freshly prepared. On the menu are many simple dishes made with fresh, organic and seasonal ingredients, often with international and fusion touches. One of the best-loved dishes is the single dish, with a choice of three tastings, great for trying out different dishes. The Brac also hosts many events dedicated to contemporary art.

A stone's throw from Palazzo Pitti, Carduccio is a completely organic bistro and shop. Here they serve seasonal fruit and vegetables, cooked in the form of tasty salads, steaming soups, flans, hot croutons, extracts, fruit, vegetable and cereal bowls, and soups.

Walking down Viale Guidoni in Novoli, you might happen to see a chef lowering a basket full of vegan sandwiches from a colourful balcony. We are at Tanotto's, the first and only vegan tripperia in the city, a take-away restaurant founded by chef Gaetano Cerasuolo that serves irresistible lampredotto and tripe sandwiches in veg version.

For more than 40 years, Il Vegetariano has been creating a sustainable alternative to classic Florentine dining while maintaining a strong connection to the land and its traditions. The dishes and desserts are all vegetarian or vegan, prepared with zero-kilometre ingredients and with the love and passion that sets them apart. Its small dining rooms with stained glass windows and antique wooden furniture and the green space outside will make you feel at home.

A vegetarian restaurant offering simple vegetarian cuisine, with a few highlights such as cecina, couscous, focaccia alla ligure and many other tasty dishes with a nod to Ligurian recipes. It also has some outdoor tables.

Flower Burger is the first veganburgheria born in 2015 in the heart of Milan, which is continuously expanding both in Italy and abroad. A bond with nature that is declined in the shades of the rainbow with a 100% vegan culinary proposal: burgers whose fundamental characteristic is colour. They range from yellow bread made with turmeric, to purple thanks to black carrot, to the much-loved pink made with cherry extract. Jungle Burger, Flower Burger and Cherry Bomb are just some of the offerings accompanied by paprika-scented potatoes, edamame or patatas buenas. This concept is the brainchild of Matteo Toto, a young entrepreneur, who embarked on a journey to discover tastes and flavours and to find the perfect meeting point between the burger and vegan cuisine. The venue features colourful and psychedelic graphic walls mixed with atmospheres from the world of clubbing, creating a fun play of light.

In the beautiful Piazza Santa Maria Novella, in the cafeteria of the Museo Novecento, we find Cortese Cafè 900, the first raw pastry shop in the heart of Florence. Chocolate, biscuits, pralines, spoon desserts and ice cream, all rigorously without flour, milk, eggs, yeast and sugar. Behind these wonders is the hand of Vito Cortese, Italy's leading raw pastry chef. A café that has become a reference point not only for veg and gluten free cuisine lovers, but for all those who seek an original way of interpreting the art of pastry making.

Mix Bistrò was born in 2013 out of the desire and enthusiasm of Giulia Chemeri and Daniele Bartolozzi for vegetable cuisine. Training, passion and dedication become the foundations for consolidating themselves in the world of catering. Vegetable cuisine as a story, to be leafed through with care and to be passionate about. Synonymous with freshness, selection and transformation of raw materials.

Mercato Centrale made its debut in Florence in one of the city's most crucial places: the first floor of the historic San Lorenzo market. It opened in the spring of 2014 to celebrate the 140th anniversary of the iron and glass architecture erected in 1874. It was designed by Giuseppe Mengoni, the man behind Florence's Sant' Ambrogio market and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan.

The "wine windows" (buchette del vino) in Florence are a fascinating historical feature. These small, arched windows were created in the 16th century, particularly during the Italian Renaissance, and were used by merchants to sell wine directly to customers.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There is no official list of the Florentine Wine Windows, in that they have never been catalogued in any of the public archives of the Italian state, the Region of Tuscany, the City of Florence, or by any of the public institutions which list, survey and protect the historical monuments of the city.

The Wine Windows Association would like to protect and provide testimony regarding the existence and state of preservation of the Florentine Wine Windows. We have been working for months on a census of the Windows which is probably not yet complete-the results can be seen in the boxes below and in the page WHO&WHAT. The numbers will change over time, as new Windows are discovered, and as interested individuals send us new information and documents, photographs and evidence of Windows which are still visible or which have been covered up.

Our public census of the Wine Windows does not pretend to be exhaustive, but as information is accumulated, we will alter the maps and put them in the form of pdf files which can be downloaded and printed.

For now, you can see how many Windows there were and are, from our indications on the maps which have been constructed using Google Maps. The largest concentration, obviously, is in the Historical Center of Florence, then expanding outwards into the surrounding territory.

What happens if we cap carbon emissions at current levels? Or continue their growth? Or reduce them? This simple animated simulation of the global carbon system is great for helping people explore the relationship between carbon emissions and atmospheric CO2.

The animation below is out of date, it runs on Flash which is not supported on modern browsers. If you are able to use flash, click the image below to download the animation.

The Climate Bathtub Simulation is a brief, animated, interactive simulation game that teaches several principles regarding the dynamics of the global carbon cycle and climate change. Designed for both students and professionals, its purpose is to improve understanding of how changes in carbon dioxide emissions will affect levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

We would love to find someone who has the resources or skill to be able to remake this interactive, so that it is updated and doesn't rely on Flash. If you are interested, please contact us.

Resources for Using and Sharing the Bathtub Sim

Sim Background

The mathematical model underneath the animation is a System Dynamics model built by Dr. Thomas Fiddaman as part of his 1997 PhD thesis at MIT. A portion of the model was then distilled into a simplified stock-and-flow framework by his thesis advisor, Dr. John Sterman of the System Dynamics Group at MIT. Dr. Sterman and Dr. Linda Booth Sweeney, then a graduate student in education, used the stock-and-flow framework to study the public misunderstandings of climate change dynamics, confirming the need for new tools to improve public understanding. They published their findings in the journal, Climatic Change. Andrew Jones and Don Seville also wrote an article on these findings and identified the need for better learning tools.

SEED, the community development program of Schlumberger Ltd, led by Michael Tempel and Simone Amber, and Linda Booth Sweeney then convened these collaborators plus Dr. Peter Senge of the Society for Organizational Learning (SoL) and MIT to create the Climate Bathtub Sim. They worked with Dr. Idit Caperton and MaMaMedia to create the interactive simulation with children and youth in mind. The Bathtub Sim is copyrighted by Schlumberger Ltd and is one of many simulations on science, climate, and systems thinking.

Various members of the team are now engaged in developing further simulations to help people better understand the complex dynamics in our world, like the World Climate Simulation a game for groups to simulate the dynamics of negotiating a global climate change agreement using the computer simulation C-ROADS.

Shell is still committed to exploring for new sources of oil and gas and does not have any plans to reduce the overall amount of oil and gas it produces by 2030, the date by which IPCC scenarios say emissions from oil, gas, and coal will need to have substantially reduced.

Shell mentions "using lower-carbon energy products to reduce GHG emissions", but the company's plans include growing its fossil gas business by 20% in the coming years. Whilst the company believes its oil production peaked in 2019 and will decline slightly by 1-2% per year until 2030, the company wants to grow its fossil gas operations until this occupies over half of Shell's energy business by 2030.

Despite Shell's climate pledges, the Climate Action 100+ Net Zero Company Benchmark finds that the company only meets some of the Benchmark's targets criteria - Shell does not have both an ambition to reach 'net-zero' and net zero-aligned short, medium and long-term GHG reduction targets, which cover all its relevant emissions.

Shell is also scored 'No' for failing to disclose an aim to align its capital allocation (investments) with its targets, let alone with the Paris Agreement goal to limit global temperature rises to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

The Benchmark estimates that over $3.9 billion of Shell's 2019 capital expenditure on 'upstream' fossil fuel extraction and production, and 66% of the company's future capital expenditure, conflict with the International Energy Agency's 'Beyond Two Degrees' scenario. In this scenario, total temperature rise is limited to 1.75°C by 2100. More and quicker emissions reductions would be required to limit temperature rise to the Paris goal of 1.5°C and to avert more climate harms to people and to the environment.

But its ads tell a different story...
