Hello hivers, an happy Wednesday to you all!
As I wrote in my previous content here, yesterday in the afternoon I went to Florence with my hubby to meet one of our friends who had to talk about literature in a wonderful room inside the Palazzo Strozzi.
In just 35 minutes by train we arrived in Florence from the city where we live and it was so so cold there. It looks like to be in December because a frozen wind, but Florence is always a wonderful city to visit, even if just for a couple of hours as we did yesterday.
Palazzo Strozzi is a beautiful ancient palace built between the 1400 and the 1500.
Inside of it, during these days, there is an art exhibition titled "Sex and solitude" by Tracey Emin and in the courtyard now there is a large bronze sculture titled "I followed you to the end":
The sculpture represent a nude female figure. We didn't have enough time to visit the art exhibition before the meeting with our friend, so we could just see this (very large) piece.
Watching the palace from the outside we can see it is an example of civil architecture with its rusticated stone, similar to the Palazzo Medici:
A view of the Palace from the via Tornabuoni:
In the corners of the building there are the beautiful flagpole stands I like so much, they are iron work by Niccolo Grosso:
In the opposite corner of the street there is another ancient palace with a wonderful sculpeted ancient decoration:
Just to know, when you visit Florence you have to pay attention to everything around, up and down, because there are beautiful thing to see in every corner of the city.
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia
