 Anne was prepared for our train ride from Rome to Florence.   We spent a day at the Galleria dell'Accademia. We waited outside that brown door for our tickets inside. I got this picture from google but we got there before the crowd and shops were just setting up. The crowd was for...  David by Michelangelo. |  We were greeted by the Duomo and the baptistry (smaller building on the right). I was on my way to climb the stairs of the Duomo when i realized I had not eaten a thing all day lol. I did get to see the inside of the baptistry. You have to cover your shoulders and knees to get into these places. Oversized scarfs are handy.   In a room down the hall from David I saw work by Lorenzo Bartolini. They were busts of the upper middle class of the 19th century. Playing in the background was a looped video explaining why the plaster busts had holes drilled into them.   |
Also in Florence was the Uffizi gallery…
