David (Michelangelo) - Wikipedia

Was I listening...NO...just looking.  David resided in the Accademia Gallery where we toured not only him but many sculptures from various Sculptors' and Architects.  Here is one of many.  Sabine is a large and complex marble statue by the Flemish sculptor and architect Giambologna and was completed around 1583.

We took a little break before heading on to our next tour.  We both had the Italian Aperol Spritz which is very popular in Italy.  It contains Aperol Syrup, Champagne and Soda water.  Very refreshing on a hot day or whenever.  

We went on to the visiting the Uffizi Gallery.  The Uffizi Gallery art museum has the world's finest collection of Italian Renaissance painting, particularly of the Florentine school.  It also has antiques, sculptures and more that 100k drawings and prints.
