The Festa delle Rificolone is a traditional festival in Florence, Italy, usually held on the evening of September 7th each year. The festival dates back to the Renaissance and is a celebration of the birth of the Virgin Mary and a tribute to the farmers who come to the city on September 8th to sell their agricultural products and handicrafts. The main feature of the Lantern Festival is the lantern parade. Children will take to the streets holding paper lanterns of various shapes and bright colors, which are usually lit by candles or modern LED lights. Traditionally, these lanterns are made into various patterns, and sometimes children's own lanterns are also involved in the parade. This festival also has an interesting custom: children will try to "attack" other people's lanterns with blowpipes or other means to extinguish them, which is a way of celebration and game. The Florence Lantern Festival is not only an event to commemorate tradition and history, but also an opportunity for families and communities to come together and enjoy a happy time at night.

Trip.com For the reservation, the price is similar to the price of buying tickets on the spot. After calculating it, it seems that Trip.com is cheaper. Very convenient, just show the QR code directly, the clock tower is very high, there is no elevator, if it is the elderly and children may need to consider whether to climb, personally do not recommend, the stairs of the clock tower are high, the number of steps is many, the corridor is narrow. But climbing up the clock tower to see the Cathedral and the whole city of Florence, the scenery is still beautiful.

Trip.com It is very convenient to buy a ticket for me, saving me the trouble of seeing it on the official website, and the price of Trip.com is similar to the official website. I think this product is very good, but there are really many people in line at the Academy Art Museum, even if you show the time distance on the ticket. Still have to line up, so be patient

Pitti Palace is very worth a visit. I went to the Bobori Garden. Bobori Garden is average. But the Biyan Palace collection is rich and should be on the must-see list.

Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence

Santa Croce is also a typical church in Florence, with white as the base color and green facade as the painted color pattern. The square of this church should be the largest among all churches in the city, so it is very formal.
