Where's David?

            Outside the municipal building in Florence you will see a statue of David by Michelangelo -no not really. It is a copy. Well then, take the bus or a cab to the park site above the city and there it is-no not really. It is a copy. Well then where's David? While once outside it was moved to the Galleria dell Accademia. And, it was designed to be atop a church. Made from a block of marble rejected by other artists it is one of the most favorite in the world. It is not that I don't like it, but I like Donatello's David better.
