An independent, free press, The Florentine (TF) is the longest-running English-language publication in Florence, printed in 10,000 copies every two weeks, and consulted online by over a quarter of a million readers each year.

Established in April 2005, our target audience is the large English-speaking community that lives in Florence and Italy. Recognizing that this community needed a stronger voice, TF’s readership extends beyond city walls, striving to address this community needs. Our readers are also our writers. Long before citizen journalism, and thanks to a constant dialogue with our readers, TF was born as a grassroots publication, published for and written by its readers. Dialogue with out readership is even more open thanks to social media, where we actively welcome comments and contributions from our audience.
