Piazza della Signoria, Florence
A Preview
"You've walked into the Piazza della Signoria — the political heart of Florence for seven hundred years, and one of the loveliest open squares in the world. Somewhere near the great fountain with the pale sea god, set flat into the pavement, there's a round marble marker. If you can find it in the stone, stand near it."
