Description
While at first the idea of having hundreds of episodes dedicated to a relatively small region sounded preposterous, the more we delve into Tuscan history, the more surprises we bump...
show moreIf you listen to the full episode I will tell you the remarkable history of the order created by the Medicis to avoid another nationalist uprising in Pisa, how it became powerful enough to play a crucial role in the battle that pretty much decided the future of Europe and how carrying there the war flags of the captured ships became an important tradition. There will be also space to look at the most beautiful of those flags, their symbolism and also the many souvenirs of the days where the ships from Pisa fought the infidels on the Mare Nostrum are kept both inside the church and in the palace next door that now hosts one of Europe's top academic institutions. Next time you come to Pisa, take some time to explore this amazing part of town. It has much more to offer than Piazza dei Miracoli: you only need to know where to look.
