....forgotten details...
so i just totally remembered that I never talked about going to see the David and the Ufizzi... the David was Awesome.. I cant believe that Michelangelo did that when he was only 23! The only thing that is off about the statue is the hands they are to big compared to the rest of his body. After that we went and saw another one of Michelangelo's creations. On the other side of Florence, there is a Little church that has a statue of the crucifixion. it was beautiful! Michaelangelo sculpted this when he was only 16! its amazing what he did. Just like the David, there is one thing that is different about the statue. His head is significantly bigger than the body of Jesus. It is still an amazing masterpiece. That was 2 weeks ago. The week after that we went to the Ufizzi. It used to be the Medici's palace, but now it is an art gallery. It was really neat to see all of the different paintings from all of the artists dating from fall of rome to after the middle ages.well thats all for now. i will be posting lot tomorrow about my weekend in Venice Padua and Verona. Ciao!
