Wonderful Open-air Museum - Piazza della Signora Jun 21, 2006
This is an L-shaped square located in front of the Palazzo Vecchio. It's considered the point of origin of the history of the Florentine Republic. It's the meeting place of locals as well as numerous tourists.
It's surrounded by amazing buildings like: Palazzo Vecchio, the Loggia della Signoria, the Uffizi Gallery, the Palace of the Tribunale della Mercanzia (now Agriculture office) and the Uguccioni Palace. Here you can find master art pieces every direction you look at. For example: -A copy of the David by Michelangelo (original is kept at the Gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts). -The Fountain of Neptune by Bartolomeo Ammannati. -Judith and Holofernes by Donatello -Hercules and Cacus by Bandinelli -The Rape of the Sabine Women by Giambologna -Perseus with the Head of Medusa by Cellini It's a MUST visiting this splendid open-air museum.

There were: Piazza Poggi - where they were getting ready for a music festival, Piazza della Signora, with fountains and Sculptures. You could see people just relaxing in the parks, enjoying a nice day and taking things easy. Well, the sculptures and art pieces are all over the city. The girl from the hostel even gave me her old map of Firenze… Firenze - art is in the air... |
