Florence photos, #4 - Cellini's Perseus, Michelangelo's David

Piazza della Signoria, Florence street scenes. This includes a visit to the da Vinci show, "The Mind of Leonardo," which was showing until January 7, 2007.
and shows in San Jose, Calif., during Winter '08.

My photos of the ORIGINAL David sculpture at the Accademica Gallery are on another page.

  Here's my VIDEOCLIP of the costumed band under the copy of the Michelangelo David sculpture at Piazza Signoria

  Also, see good info on Michelangelo's statue of David by David Leavitt.

    And be sure not to miss an EXCELLENT, comprehensive page by Margaret Schaut
    on Michelangelo's David.   Incredibly thorough with pithy summaries.
