Field notes

Tourist crush is the structural problem — central rents got distorted by short-term lets and the 2024 city-council Airbnb cap is only just starting to bite. San Frediano (Oltrarno) and Campo di Marte are where nomads actually base. Same Italian DNV / Schengen story as the rest of the country.

Florence sits in a basin — the city is hotter and stiller than the rest of Tuscany in summer (Jul–Aug routinely 32°C+, no sea breeze relief). Winters are colder than Rome and meaningfully damper. April through June and September through October are the real working windows.
