Art, Travel and Life in Italy


Hi, I'm Alexandra Korey and this is ArtTrav, a blog about art, life and travel in Florence and Italy. I'm originally from Toronto, Canada, but have lived in Florence for the past 20 years. I have a PhD in art history and feel strongly about helping people look at and understand art. ArtTrav has been online since 2004, making it one of the oldest and longest lasting blogs in Florence and the only one in English dedicated to art.
