Animals roaming the streets of Florence: wolves, foxes, porcupines. Watch the videos


Several citizens report animals wandering around the streets of Florence. Here are videos from social media.

The enforced confinement to which Italians have been subjected has brought many animals to the centers of our cities: quadrupeds that descend nightly (but sometimes during the day) from the hills or woods and find themselves strolling through urban centers left empty by measures against the Covid-19 coronavirus epidemic. Of course, it is rhetorical to say that nature has reclaimed its space: simply, the silence and the absence of confusion prompt a few beasts a little more reckless and “exploratory” than the others to make a few forays into unusual places.

They do, however, move a certain sympathy with the images of animals strolling among the streets usually busy or traveled by tourists. It also happens in one of the world’s capitals of mass tourism, Florence: by now, in the Tuscan capital, “sightings” of animals filmed by citizens follow one another day after day. And so here is a wolf roaming the streets of Sesto Fiorentino, a porcupine taking a stroll in Piazza Santo Spirito, right in front of the church that houses Michelangelo’s youthful crucifix, or a fox crossing the ring road boulevards. Below are some videos with animals around Florence, taken by citizens.
