LORENCE THE CATHEDRAL (SANTA MARIA DEL FIORE) NEPTUNE FLORENTINE SURREY — SANS FRINGE ON TOP

Page 45 text:

PAUSE FOR A PRAYER Florence was not what could be consi- dered a typical liberty port. It ' s main attrac- tions were cultural, particularly its art trea- sures in which respect it was equal to Rome. Florentine art goes back to the 12th century and continues in prominence through the Renaissance period (16th Cent.) Even the architecture is distinctly its own differing from the production of neighboring artistic centers, such as Lucca and Pisa. It is in Florence that a good many of the works of Michelangelo are kept in the Medici Chapel. The Uffigi gallery houses many of the works of Dante and DeVinci. In all, there is a total of ten museums of art in Florence. The cathedrals and churches also contain many of the works of the masters. Because of its cultural value Florence was declared an open city during WWII, pre- serving all its cultural beauty. One of the main striking works of art in the Piazza Delia Sigroria, is the Pizza Forentain by Ammannati. In its midst is the gigantic figure of Neptune now popularly referred to as Whitey , on account of its proportions and the color of the marble. The Florence tour was in itself a world of cultural knowledge. VIEW OF FLORENCE FROM PIAZZALE MICHELANGELO • • r, i i i i i sfi ' iw ov
