hen the Moore's found that they would be in Rome the first week of September, the group decided that a trip to Florence would be an ideal location for our 2015 IDC . 


Florence is the capitol of the Tuscan Region of Italy and considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance.  With approximately 1.8 million tourist each  year, the IDC was happy to add our numbers to the hordes of visitors to the city established by Lucius Cornelius Sulla in 80 BC as a settlement for his veteran soldiers.   The town was originally named Fluentia, owing to the fact that it was built between two rivers.

Bob recommended the Westin Excelsior, a five start hotel located in the historic center of Florence.   This  great location is in the middle of incredible historic sites, great restaurants and within easy walking distance to the railway station.
