La Culla del Rinascimento

Florence is known as La Culla del Rinascimento, the Cradle of the Renaissance. It is the home of Michelangelo's David and the works of Raphael, Da Vinci, and Botticelli (just to name a few!). Everywhere you go in the historic center, you can see traces of artwork that the Renaissance left behind. I will let the art speak for itself.
The Uffizi Gallerie

Neptune/Poseidon

In Palazzo Uffizi




Perseus' Slays Medusa (my favorite statue
in Piazza Uffizi)

NOT THE REAL THING
They don't let you take pics of the real
one but I will sneak and take some one
day. 
Donatello
Da Vinci
Michaelangiolo Buonarroti
Dante Allighieri
Petrarca
Macchiavelli
Don't forget the modern artists!
(This is actually in courtyard of the Uffizi)
My favorite work of art that can be seen at the Uffizi Gallerie.

Arrivederci!
