Florence, like most major cities, abound with street performers. In the Piazza Signoria the mimes raise their art form to a high level. While attending two weeks of Italian language school (La Scuola Tuscana) I would sit in the Piazza and do my homework. I became friends with Luigi Benassai, the mime you will see. (Italian with English subtitles).
