... of Michelangelo, Galileo, Niccolo Medicci and Dante, as well as works by Donatello. On our way there, we walked through a little alleyway where school children were being let out for the day and families were there picking them up (no one was in a car; everyone walked or rode bikes).

We were told our apartment was about a 20 minutes walk but because it was raining & we had all our bags we hopped in a taxi.
