they did - Peretola - FLR - been there since teh 1930's

Not a long runway (5740ft) but good connectivity with places such as Paris, AMS, LGW & frankfurt - used it several times

PS "why when they originally built Florence city they didn't build an airport"


"The present city of Florence was established by Julius Caesar in 59 BC as a settlement for his veteran soldiers and was named originally Fluentia"

Yes, it was a little attempt at a jokelet on my part.
