Florence Nightingale wäre am 12. Mai dieses Jahres 200 Jahre geworden.

Many were the outstanding people who left their imprint on the nineteenth century, devoting their energies to the cause of human dignity.

Abstract
Certain sectors of the heritage and tourist industry argue that cities with art historical significance should be re-categorized as 'museum cities' because visitors intent on acquiring particular limited 'consumer' experiences outnumber the local population. Using the Feast Day of San Giovanni in Florence, Italy, as a focus this article questions this assumption. By evaluating the form of the feast day events and their relationship to the urban landscape, some of the historical conditions that have shaped the city are revealed. These conditions, understood as civic praxis, are accessible to everyone (to different degrees) and suggest Florence is anything but a museum.

Florence Nightingale and Henry Dunant are two names which are associated in much that has been written about the Red Cross and army medical services. Only seldom are their outstanding personalities contrasted. Where does the truth lie? In similarity or difference? Let us try to sort things out.
