THE OLD MAN WITH HIS FIAT 600 IN FIRENZE

One day the Old Man arrives in Stroncone and visits the village... He thinks the village is really beautiful and very old. Stroncone is a medieval village! 
The Old Man sees a well in the centre of the square in Stroncone 
and he goes to the City Council to look at the “Corali”, some very old books.
How exhausting! Stroncone has got a lot of steps and slopes.
Then, the Old Man, with his inseparable Fiat 600, goes to a bed and breakfast to sleep. 
In the bed and breakfast, a strange thing happens: he goes in his bedroom and he sees a big and very dazzling light, the Old Man is really scared and decides to move towards that light and in a breath he finds himself in Firenze!!! 
The Old Man is puzzled …
In Firenze the Old Man visits a lot of places among which the Uffizi gallery, one 
of the most important museums in the world and The Old Man liked it very much.
Later he goes to visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria Del Fiore, a big and important cathedral in Firenze that is the third largest church in the world.
Then The Old Man visits the David of Michelangelo. It is a wonderful sculpture
and represents a young man.
After this visit, the Old Man is very tired and he goes to a hotel, he books a room and he goes bed. 
The next morning The Old Man wakes up very early and he was immediately blinded by the same light he had seen in the bed and breakfast in Stroncone. This time he isn't afraid and goes briskly toward the light. Then he crosses the light and he finds himself in his bedroom at the bed and breakfast ...
Now the Old Man is ready for a new adventure!!!
