Uffizi Gallery

History class in the Uffizi Gallery (1560) today. It was awe-inspiring going through the 8 000 sq.m of space filled with the most important art collection in the world, including works by Botticelli ('Birth of Venus' shown), Michaelangelo, DaVinci, Durer, Caravaggio, Lippi, Fra Angelico, Giotto, Bellini, della Francesca, Raphael, .. Despite the fact that many pieces were down for restoration, and others, sadly, ruined by prior restoration attempts, in person the artworks there were amazing; and as always, surprisingly different in scale and tactility.
I have to spend another good two or three days there to Really see the collection.
