This year so far we&#8217;ve had it good &#8211; personally I prefer not having to shower ever 2 hours. But when the heat does hit, it&#8217;s important to know how to best face it. From practices for coping with the heat to knowing the best places to cool off, these are a few of my lessons learned.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>1) Shutter it up<\/h2>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/pQ8wvqvDE1\/embed\/\" height=\"710\" width=\"612\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Most windows are equipped with either shutters or the more modern roll-down variety. Italians keep these closed pretty much all the time, so you might think there&#8217;s nobody at home. They&#8217;re closed at night so you can&#8217;t see inside, and they&#8217;re closed during the day to keep out the sun and stop rooms from heating up. Keep your home cool by opening everything up from 6 to 8am, then shuttering it up til about 9pm!<\/p>\n<h2>2) Stay inside<\/h2>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/cZEy_IPDP7\/embed\/\" height=\"710\" width=\"612\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Even if your inside has no air conditioning, nothing is worse than going outside in a concrete jungle when temps peak at 40 degrees celcius. As much as possible, stay inside between 10am and 7pm.<\/p>\n<h2>3) Aperitivo<\/h2>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/qCjHo7vDJU\/embed\/\" height=\"710\" width=\"612\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>7pm is not a casually chosen hour. It&#8217;s when we usually call it a day at work and head over to some rooftop terrace for an <em>aperitivo<\/em>! Most of the hotels in town have rooftop bars that are open to the public<\/p>\n<h2>4) Culture by night<\/h2>\n<p>While many of the city&#8217;s movie houses actually close for the summer (guess they don&#8217;t have air conditioning, plus a lot of Italians leave the city, lucky ducks), there are some <strong>open air movie theatres<\/strong> that pop up in June and July, and some of them are free! In piazza Ssma Annunziata from July 7-31 there is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quellidellacompagnia.it\/?portfolio=al-via-la-terza-edizione-di-apriti-cinema-7-luglio-31-luglio\" target=\"_blank\">free arthouse cinema<\/a> every night!

If you grew up, like I did, in a very green city, Florence will seem very not-green, and the few spaces there are may be far from the private refuge you seek. But in their own way they can be interesting. There&#8217;s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arttrav.com\/florence\/folon-in-florence-rose-garden\/\" target=\"_blank\">rose garden<\/a> under piazzale Michelangelo or the large Cascine park, with the recently created recreational space called Fosso Bandito (that I have yet to explore). There&#8217;s also a city beach called Easy Living, a kinda strange sandy shore on the Arno, with beach volleyball, bar, and cold showers.<\/p>\n<h2>6) Get outta town<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1809\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1809\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1809\" alt=\"The lawn at Vallombrosa\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.arttrav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/vallombrosa_lawn_sm.jpg?resize=700%2C394&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.arttrav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/vallombrosa_lawn_sm.jpg?resize=1024%2C577&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.arttrav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/vallombrosa_lawn_sm.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.arttrav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/vallombrosa_lawn_sm.jpg?w=1100&amp;ssl=1 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1809\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The lawn at Vallombrosa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t afford a longer holiday but can get access to a car for a day, or if you enjoy public busses, a summer classic is to go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arttrav.com\/tuscany\/vallombrosa\/\" target=\"_blank\">Vallombrosa<\/a>, a high altitude woods that is surprisingly cold.
