Description:
Shot on August 23, 2008. The video begins at the Basilica of Santa Croce which is the largest Franciscan church in the world. Its most notable features are its sixteen chapels, many of them decorated with frescoes by Giotto and his pupils, and its tombs and cenotaphs. It is the burial place of some of the most illustrious Italians, such as Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli, Foscolo, Gentile, Rossini, and Marconi. Next it was over to the L-shaped Square Piazza della Signoria in front of the Palazzo Vecchio. The various eye-catching statues in this square include: a copy of David, the Fountain of Neptune and Hercules and Cacus. Next we walked through the narrow courtyard between the Uffizi Gallery's two wings. Next it was past Ponte Vecchio, a Medieval bridge over the Arno River. Our walk through Florence continued past the Piazza della Repubblica. The video concludes at The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore, the cathedral church (Duomo) of Florence, Italy. The basilica is notable for its dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, its exterior facing of polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink bordered by white.Full length videos can be found on my web site @ http://timvp.com

Apr 27, 2012 - You are SO lucky! I lived in Siena for a year, and spent a lot of time in Florence. Years later, I studied for my English teaching certificate in Florence, and the school was only a stones throw from the Duomo. Every morning at 8:00 I would stop to listen to the bells before going onto and beginning classes at 8:30.
