As you may know, I'm a sucker for FREE things c:
So when I found out that the Santa Maria del Fiore (St. Mary of the Flower), or better known as Il Duomo, was open to the public for FREE, I was ecstatic! Il Duomo was built in the honor of the Virgin Mary and the cornerstone of the Duomo was laid on September 8th, 1926, following the Festa della Rificolona (read about it here:
Festa della Rificolona). So in her honor, the terrace of the Duomo's cupola was open for FREE on that day!! Thank God for Virgin Mary! Since the cost of admission is usually 6 euros, my wallet is definitely thanking me! As for my legs, the 400 steps was a good but tiring workout and they aren't too happy about it. But saving money is always a good thing c:

Finding FREE events like these make my day. I'm always searching the Internet to find free or cheap things to do around Firenze. I think I might try Firenze's happy hour next time! Buy a drink, get FREE buffet dinner or aperitif!
