Florence, Italy - the art in Florence is what makes it one of the best destination cities that you need to see. This is the fake David that is outside in a square - nearby is the statues of Perseus slaying Medusa. There are many statues outside in the piazza that are available to wander and circle around. When you go inside the galleries - it is even more inspiring. When you see the true david by Michaelangelo - there are no words that can describe what he was able to create out of stone. Leading up to the statue of david in the gallery are a number of Michaelangelo "Prisoners" - so called becasue he never finished them and so it appears to be portions of people still partially embedded and struggling to be free of the stone.
