JnR’s trip to Italy (day eleven)

Today we went to the Uffizi.  We saw some paintings by Carvaggio, Michelangelo’s Holy Family,  Raphael’s Madonna with Goldfinch, Titan’s Venus (on couch), Venus de Medici, Bodicelli’s Venus, Allegory of Spring.  Some more medieval art and lots of random sculptures.  After that we had some sandwiches at an awesome little shop near the Uffizi.

We went to Santa Croce Church.  It seems everyone was interred here.  Michelangelo, Fermi, Galileo and a memorial for Dante.

We went to the Leather School after that.  They have very nice things but they are a tad expensive.  After that, we went to the San Larenzo Market.  I wanted a leather jacket from Florence and this was this first ‘shopping’ day for that.
