Florence, Italy

"Paradise of Exiles. This phrase, which the poet Shelley coined, sums up an idea of Florence that has been floating around for at least 200 years: the idea of a city where the outcast foreigner, merely by virtue of living in proximity to glorious works of Renaissance art, can experience a renaissance of his own." -  Novelist David Leavitt

You are not allowed to take pictures of the David at the Academia in Florence.
So, you never saw this.
