It is unfortunate that you can't decompress for a month or two in Florence, or a similarly beautiful place. If you ever plan to visit Italy again, please let me know; there's a bunch of very interesting people to meet in Florence, including the mayor, Matteo Renzi (candidate for Prime Minister in 2014) and Paolo Barberis, founder of Dada.it, now founder of the accelerator nana bianca. And others.
