Michelangelo, Best Gelato and Shoes

Took a 'Michelangelo' tour today. Overview of his life, influences and early works. The guide has a PhD from Columbia in art history. So LOTS of information. No test at the end though, thankfully!

We started at the Casa Buonarroti where we viewed two marble reliefs.

Madonna of the Stairs

Battle of the Centaurs

Then to the Bargello, where we also viewed 3 other David statues.

Bacchus

And finally to the Accademia, to view the David

Unfortunately my pictures of the Prisoners did not turn out. These were works in progress.

After all that, time for lunch and then, wait for it, gelato. Went to Perché no! Why not!
I think this is the best (so far I have 3 gelateria's on my list for tomorrow). Went with apple pie and almond & fig.

Stopped by the Ferragamo museum next. Shoes!

Beautiful day in Florence.
