Use
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php [QSA,NC,L]
This will redirect all your requests to a single index.php that parses the uri with something like this:
<?php
// Example URI: /florence/30-06-2009
// Remove first slash from REQUEST_URI
$uri = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],1);
// Get an array with portions between slashes.
$splittedURI = explode("/", $uri);
// Here you get your city (or anything else that you want)
$city = array_unshift($splittedURI); // In example, $city = "florence"
// Remaining itens in $splittedURI are the arguments/parameters to your page
// Like this:
$date = $splittedURI[0]; // In example, $date = "30-06-2009"
?>
Remember that this is just and example, and you should do additional verifications to avoid PHP exceptions.
