This is a view of the church of 'Santa Croce' from Piazzale Michelangelo.
The 'Piazzale Michelangelo' is dedicated to Michelangelo Buonarroti, born in 1475 and dead in 1564. He is, with Leonardo, the biggest artist in the Renaissance. He was sculptor, painter, architect and poet. He was one of the protected artists of the Medici family (princes and popes). He did the famous "David" to decorate the door of the 'Signoria Palace' (we saw a copy on the first page, remember?). He was a revolutionary, his creativity had no limits.
If you want to see the real "David" you’ll have to go to 'Galleria dell’Academia' (in Via Ricasoli). There you’ll find other finished and unfinished works of Michelangelo: "The Abduction of the Sabinas", "The Slaves" and "Pietá Palestrina".
