Florence

The Duomo in Florence -- an iconic cathedral you can locate from much of the city, and just down the block from our apartment

 

The Piazza di Santa Croce, with the Basilica at the top.  Note the supports below the additions to the buildings on the right.

The Palazzo Vecchio and the Piazza della Signora, right next to the Uffizi 

A concert inside the St Stephen Auditorium, featuring Vivaldi's Spring with an amazing first violinist

Lunch at the Cucina in Torre restaurant

We were able to "skip the line" and see Michelangelo's incredible David statue

Galileo's tomb!
