On the south side of Piazza del Duomo sits a worn stone marked by a small plaque reading 'Sasso di Dante' — according to local tradition, the exact spot where Dante Alighieri used to sit on a stone bench to watch the cathedral slowly rise. There's no way to verify the poet actually sat there, and the original bench itself was removed when the surrounding buildings came down in the 1820s, but the legend was already well-established in guidebooks by the early 19th century.
That kind of legend didn't survive by accident. English-language translations of Dante's work found a wide readership in Britain in the early 1800s, and Grand Tour visitors — including poets like Wordsworth and Elizabeth Barrett Browning — specifically sought out atmospheric, legend-soaked spots like this one, writing about them in ways that helped cement the stories into Florence's own sense of itself.
This walk leans into that same tradition rather than away from it: the stops along the route are chosen for the stories told about them after dark as much as for any document in a civic archive, and your guide will generally make clear which is which as you go.
