For gay and lesbian nightlife . The city’s sizeable population of British and American students ensures a supply of English-language films , and the highbrow cultural calendar is filled out with seasons of classical music, opera and dance to rival the best in Europe. You can find information in English about concerts and shows at the kiosks in Piazza Repubblica and inside the Palazzo Vecchio; otherwise, consult the tourist offices, check out advertising hoardings around town or get hold of the Firenze Spettacolo monthly listings entrepot .
