		The owners, descendants from the noble family that built the palazzo, have recently restored the building with excellent taste, respecting all of the historical characteristics of the palazzo, from the carved wooden ceilings to the original frescoes, particularly delightful in the dining room.
		The palazzo is divided into three levels: the ground floor where two elegant apartments have been renovated, both with an independent entrance; the first floor or "Piano Nobile", given this name as the original noble family lived here; the second floor - divided into seven apartments for rent.
		In 1199 a certain Rinaldo del Veccio fought for Viterbo against the Romans; but probably the name Roccalvecce came from the legume veccio or veccia, that was very common in the countryside.

		It was also called the Palazzo della Signoria and the Palazzo del Popolo in the Middle Ages, reflecting the changing modes of government in the city.
		The Palazzo Vecchio's exclusive role as the political representative of the city gradually lost importance from 1565 for three centuries, being partly replaced by the Uffizi and the new Pitti Palace.

		The fountains at the Boboli will be refreshing and I especially enjoyed coffee there in a delightful garden structure called, (what else?), the Coffee House.
		The home cooking is very good and unless you're decisive when ordering, the owner or waiter will take control and bring you out a procession of what's good that day in the kitchen.
		Finally, the great Italian wine family, Antinori, maintains a wonderful wine bar in their palazzo in Florence.

		The tall towered square shaped Palazzo Veccio (the old palace) was a totally amazing experience to me. This is where Micelangelo's David was first revealed to the public, to simply stand there, out in the open in the large and beautiful square.
		At least the unguided tour of the Palazzo Veccio is an absolute must.
		Additionally, in the immense throne room of the old palace, there is a video and computer graphics show of a most unique feature of the city.

	Global Thoughts
		My hotel is very conveniently located to all the major sites and I recommend it for good value — just expect to be woken up at 7:00 and then again at 7:15 because the church bells ring at those times.
		Our daytime adventure starts at 10am with a 7 minute walk to Palazzo Veccio where we rub noses with a statue for good luck, see the museum inside which contains large congress rooms and some family fun with a children’s museum and hidden-tunnel tours (reservations needed for these).
		Walked past the Uffizi (which is in the Palazzo Veccio where we started) to the Ponte Veccio which is a bridge over the river lined with jewelry shops; from afar it looks like a mural of box-drawings over a bridge.

		Crossed the Arno on the Ponte Veccio, the only bridge to survive WWII (thanks to NZ, believe it or not).
		Nearby, the Palazzo Reale was interesting for a town hall, but far more impressibe was the domed building behind it, whose white columns and overhanging roof inscribed a semi-circular back to the large plaza.
		A couple were having their wedding photo in the center of it at the time, which was cool.

		After that we walked o ver the Ponte Veccio, which is also a very famous bridge, because there are shops all along the bridge jutting out from the side and most of what they sell along the bridge is just gold and jewelry, very expensive.
		We then traveled to the Palazzo Veccio, which is big square building that looks like a castle with a tall clock at the top.
