Epiphany

If you plan on sticking around after the Christmas holiday, you might want to think about checking out the Epiphany celebrations. Usually celebrated with a feast, you can often go to some of the best restaurants and they will have something special on the menu. One of the best things to see during this holiday is the "Gift of the Magi," a parade that goes through the center of town. Nearly everyone in the parade chooses to use wear a costume--you feel like you are transported back in time to Florence's hey-day. You also might want to enjoy some of the special sweets they make in the bakeries on this holiday.
