[HIGHLIGHTS] Violent Florence comparison blows up in the face of the German museum director – “Insulting for all of Italy”

Violent Florence comparison blows up in the face of the German museum director – “Insulting for all of Italy”. Almost 400,000 people live in Florence, while around 5 million tourists visit the city every year.

This means that there are more than ten times as many holidaymakers as residents in the city each year. The high number of visitors also results in exorbitant prices in Italian cities. In Venice, entry is even charged for day tourists. In Florence, entry to the Galleria dell'Accademia Museum is free.
