January 6 - from one to another





Today, after breakfast on the top floor of Hotel Panorama, we went to the Medici Palace and saw their Chapel adorned with a wrap around wall painting of the Magi. Dr. Leopardi then lectured in the conference room pictured. After we went to the Academia Museum to see Michelangelo's David and other works of his, this was followed by a visit to the Medici's New Sacristy tombs and more Michelangelo sculpture. We shared gelato together from one of the best shops in Florence, Grom, and culminated our official class day with the Epiphany Parade that is meant to mimic the Magi painting we saw early in the day.
