So Happy-
The best thing ever has happened. I found a place to park for free within reasonable walking distance to Florence.
Before: Drop Leone off from school, drive around for an hour looking for a place to park and finally giving up and paying 5-8 euro to park (The variation is because of this really mean thing the city of Florence does. To discourage people from parking all day and/or to gouge tourists, the parking meters work thusly: for the first hour of parking, you pay one euro. For the second, third, fourth, etc., you pay 2 euro. This way, you have a choice to either pay twice as much for every hour after the first OR return to your car hourly to pay the decent rate. I HATE it!). The other option is to park somewhere in the very outskirts of town and worry all day that I would get a ticket (It is impossible to tell which parking spots are only allowed for residents of that neighborhood or not). Most days it was okay but one day I got a 35 euro parking ticket.
Now: Drop Leone off from school, drive 2 minutes to this spot, walk 15 minutes to get to Firenze through a scenic trail and spend the rest of the day worry free.

How did you find that spot that no one else knows about?... and how do you know it doesnt belong to someone else or is ticketable for some reason. Sounds too good to be gtrue.
