点评:We were simply blown away by our tour of this incredible site. We were fortunate enough to remember that an old friend of ours from Ithaca, Dan Harper, now lives in Florence, so we emailed him and he walked us through the Basilica. Both my husband and I agreed it was the single best tour experience we've ever had. Dan's love of Florence shines through as he talks you through all the amazing aspects of this Church, and there are many! With wonderful historical anecdotes, he masterfully ties the history, art and politics of Florence into the tour, reminding you that "it's all connected." You leave feeling that you've seen a microcosm of the entire Italian Renaissance in this one place. Before we left, he tipped us off to a few more "gems" in the city that we pursued (i.e., the Baptistry "Gates of Paradise") and really enjoyed. Dan does not take money. He loves Florence and especially Santa Croce. Email him at danharperflorence@gmail.com I promise you won't regret it!
翻译:这次参观圣十字圣殿的经历让我们叹为观止。幸运的是,我们还记得一位来自伊萨卡的老朋友丹·哈珀现在住在佛罗伦萨,于是我们给他发了邮件,他便亲自带领我们参观了这座圣十字圣殿。我和丈夫一致认为,这是我们经历过的最棒的旅行体验。丹对佛罗伦萨的热爱溢于言表,他娓娓道来这座教堂的种种奇妙之处,而它的魅力远不止于此!他巧妙地将佛罗伦萨的历史、艺术和政治融入到参观过程中,穿插着许多精彩的历史轶事,让我们意识到“一切皆有联系”。参观结束后,你会感觉仿佛在这个地方看到了整个意大利文艺复兴时期的缩影。临走前,他还向我们推荐了城里其他一些“瑰宝”,我们去探访了一番(比如洗礼堂的“天堂之门”),也十分享受。丹不收取任何费用。他热爱佛罗伦萨,尤其热爱圣十字圣殿。请发邮件至danharperflorence@gmail.com联系他,我保证你不会后悔!
