OUR TRIP TO ITALY WITH RICK STEVES
12
This huge gold statue on Piazza della Signoria in Florence shows a woman tourist with her cell phone. The sculpture, "Time Unfolding," was created by Thomas J. Price, an artist from Britain.
The next day when we went back to the Piazza, it was gone! I never did find out where it went.
We spent Day 4 visiting historic sites, such as the Franciscan church of Santa Croce with its 13th century frescoes by Giotto and the tombs of Michelangelo, Machiavelli, and Galileo. Later we learned about Brunelleschi's cathedral dome, Ghiberti's Baptistery doors, and more.
