Fine Art Friday

Michelangelo's David




Florence, Italy

Most museums are closed on Monday.
We will arrive in Florence on Monday, April 2.
I guess it had to happen at some point on the trip.

We will go to see The David on Tuesday.

On Monday we will shop and walk and eat gelato and look at this a million times,




"A distinctive feature of Florence's skyline is the dome of the cathedral (Duomo), Santa Maria del Fiore. The building itself, located due north of the Piazza della Signoria, was begun by the sculptor Arnolfo di Cambio in 1296. Numerous local artists continued to work on it during the following century and a half. The painter Giotto designed its sturdy bell tower (campanile) in 1334. Yet, the massive octagonal cupola (1420-36) that truly dominates both the church and the city was the proud achievement of Filippo Brunelleschi, master architect and sculptor."
