Join me (again!) at the Galleria Dell’Accademia…
My last “dates” with David were several years ago during COVID and again, a few years ago for my birthday.
I was definitely past due and what better day than Valentine’s Day!
In Their Own Words! David & his grandson, Cash on their very “grand” Grand Tour of Florence!
Join them and then, perhaps, it’s your turn to make memories?
“Beauty will save the world.” (Fyodor Dostoyevsky)
I love this quote and I don’t know about the world but beauty saves me and leaves me breathless – mozzafiato!
I LOVE Museums! And, oftentimes, one visit is not enough!
So, given the opportunity to see David again without the crowds, no way was I going to pass!
Join me, won’t you?
♦ ♦ ♦ Visiting Palazzo Davanzati has been on my list for a very long time. Like many other lesser known museums the visiting hours
Join me for a visit to the quintessential viewpoint in Florence, Piazzale Michelangelo.
It would be impossible (and probably naive) to even attempt to summarize or encapsulate the rich and complex history of any of the renowned museums here in Italy but I’ll keep trying! This week I want to share about another of Florence’s distinguished museums; Pitti Palace.
The Interwoven History & Story of a City and a Family
This post is only about the Medici Chapels and Chapel of the Princes but their is so much more to the Medici and their legacy here in Florence and in Tuscany…
Some experiences are impossible to put into words. Such is the case with my visit to the Accademia Gallery in Florence and the rare and wonderful moment with Michelangelo’s David.
As with every historical building, there is a story…a story dating back centuries! They are the “silent” participants in the story of a place. Occupied, transformed, deserted, renovated, re-imagined…and hopefully survive to share their legacy with us. If only their walls could talk!? They would certainly have a few tales to tell and so it is with the Bargello…
