Florence is preparing for a spell of severe weather expected from Thursday afternoon until 6 p.m. on Friday, August 21, 2026.

Tuscany has opened talks with German representatives over the future of performances at Italy’s largest German military cemetery.

The solution should require fewer repairs, but it also means replacing real stone with a material designed to imitate its appearance.

The quake just eight days after a stronger magnitude 4.3 tremor struck the Pisa area.

The first phase of the project starts around Piazza della Signoria and Via dei Calzaiuoli.

Florence is facing another prolonged spell of extreme temperatures, with the heat expected to continue through mid-August.

The quake struck at 10:15 a.m. (August 4, 2026). Tremors were reported as far away as Florence.

Drivers are being advised to avoid the area if possible as firefighters tackle a blaze near the tunnel on the provincial road.

The Italian Ministry of Health has issued a warning and forecasts indicating that the current heatwave could persist well into mid-August.
