Italy Alumni Trip - Florence Saturday
Our first stop of the day was to visit Michelanglo's David at the Accademia. This is the replica that sits outside in the city square.
Outside the Hospital of the Innocent.
Bill took us to some little known, and therefore, infrequently visited pieces of art in Florence. This allowed us to get up close and personal with the paintings. This one is the Adoration of the Magi by Ghirlandajo.
Bob Pinschmidt '67 talks with Professor Cook '66 about the Adoration of the Magi.
We spent time in the rectory of a former Benedictine Convent admiring the fresco Last Supper by Andrea del Castagno.
