The reason I was in Florence this summer was to learn Italian for my dissertation. One of the texts I'm working with is The Divine Comedy. So it seemed like a good idea to have a working knowledge of Italian. Since Florence was Dante's home prior to his exile, there's tons of Dante related things all over the city. These range from historical (his house & the church where Beatrice is buried) to the kitschy (Dante impersonators & cafes named after him).
