In Florence, most shops when closed are safeguard by metal gates. Most gates are plain and not appealing to the eye.
Fortunately, a handful of gates are painted by local artists. So, when businesses are closed, more street art appears.
Below are some of the artistic gates we have seen while wandering around Florence.
The handful of painted gates in Florence remind us of the 100 Gates project in NYC's Lower East Side neighborhood (http://www.100gates.nyc/). Perhaps Florence will embrace the concept and beautify more gates in Florence.
