Florence 2019: Galleria dell'Accademia

The Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence was built primarily to house Michelangelo's David. It also serves as the home to his Slaves, unfinished sculptures that reveal much of what we know about his working process. We were unable to gain entry to the Museum on July 11, so we purchased tickets instead for July 12, 2019.
















The Rape of the Sabines
Plaster model
Giambologna



Daphnis and Chloe
Ulisse Cambi




Musical instruments:
Two Strads

Harpsichord

In English it's called a serpent but the Italian word for this instrument has the edge:
Serpentone
