Tchaikovsky's sextet "Souvenir de Florence" was composed mostly in June-July 1890 at Frolovskoe (near Klin), where the composer rented a house. He had spent the first three months of 1890 in Florence working on the opera "The Queen of Spades". He stayed at the Hotel Washington in Florence, and here is a picture of the composer sitting on the bench near the river and hotel.
