Sunlight burst across the Florentine sky, scattering lens flares as Brunelleschi’s magnificent red-tile dome loomed ahead and Giotto’s striped campanile framed the scene to the left. My friend and I paused mid-wander on our Italian cruise stop, awestruck by how Renaissance grandeur still outshines the modern city streets below.
