E parte della storia fiorentina è presente in pezzi di arte.  Ci sono molti famosi edifici nella città di Firenze che sono molto belli. Firenze come molte città del Rinascimento sono state costruite in molti anni. E casa a numeroso chiese, edifici, e case costruite con architettura romanesce o gotica. Il  Battistero di San Giovanni è creduto essere il più vecchio  edifico a Firenze. E’ famoso per tre porte che sono fatte di bronzo. Queste porte descrivono scene del Nuovo e Vecchio Testamento. Il Duomo o Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore è la cattedrale di Firenze. Il Duomo è molto famoso perchè stato progettato da Brunelleschi dell duomo. La parte esterna è molto decorato e fatto di marmo di vario colore: verde, rosa, bianco. Il primo grande duomo è costruito in questo senso e ispiratio vicino  al Pantheon a Roma. Le gallerie degli Uffizi sono uno dei piu vecchi e più famosi musei di arte nel mondo. E’ interessante la sua architettura allungata e a forma di U. Gli architetti hanno provato a non distruggere gli i edifici intorno agli Uffizi. Firenze è la sede della maggior parte, e miglio preservati, imporanti monumenti di architettura Rinascimentale nel mondo. Mi piace camminare lungo le strade ogni giorno e trovare una nuova chiesa o nuovo edifico considerati pezzi di arte.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6575361379869689029-1494159305265414606?l=florencejourney2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://florencejourney2009.blogspot.com/feeds/1494159305265414606/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://florencejourney2009.blogspot.com/2009/01/final-presentation.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6575361379869689029/posts/default/1494159305265414606'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6575361379869689029/posts/default/1494159305265414606'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://florencejourney2009.blogspot.com/2009/01/final-presentation.html' title='Final Presentation'/><author><name>lyssyarszs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05722029654194200614</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SWtyTrHE4WI/AAAAAAAAAAo/HWV8gGeuGN0/S220/DSC01983.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575361379869689029.post-5105216834135156858</id><published>2009-01-22T02:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-22T03:02:19.392-08:00</updated><title type='text'>San Croce Field Trip</title><content type='html'>Wednesday we had another field trip to the San Croce Church. This is a church in Florence that hold many tombs of some very famous people such as Dante, Donatello, and Michelangelo. The tombs were all very beautiful. The flood from many years ago destroyed a lot in this church so when we were there they had people working to repair and restore a lot that had gotten destroyed. My three favorite tombs were Beata Umilana de'Cerchi, A Gino Capponi, ad A G.B. Niccolini. They were all very large and amazing. Beata Umilana was worshipped in her living day for her virtures o modesty, charity, obidence and many miracles. The tomb of Niccolini resembled the Statue of Liberty in New York but was more feminine. I thought this church was really interesting but kinda creepy too having all those tombs there.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6575361379869689029-5105216834135156858?l=florencejourney2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://florencejourney2009.blogspot.com/feeds/5105216834135156858/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://florencejourney2009.blogspot.com/2009/01/san-croce-field-trip.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6575361379869689029/posts/default/5105216834135156858'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6575361379869689029/posts/default/5105216834135156858'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://florencejourney2009.blogspot.com/2009/01/san-croce-field-trip.html' title='San Croce Field Trip'/><author><name>lyssyarszs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05722029654194200614</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SWtyTrHE4WI/AAAAAAAAAAo/HWV8gGeuGN0/S220/DSC01983.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575361379869689029.post-1957290023377833339</id><published>2009-01-22T02:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-22T02:54:40.517-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Le gallerie degli Uffizi</title><content type='html'>Martedi abbiamo avuti un viaggio al Uffizi.

Here they exhibited Michelangelo's David. I was very excited to see it because its so famous. The sculpture was larger than what I had imagined. Michelangelo started this masterpiece when he was 26 years old. It is made out of white marble and is about twice the size of a human. I cant even imagine how heavy it is or how they transported it from its original location. The size of his hands and head is larger in scale and unproportioned with the rest of his body. Its hard for me to imagine how someone can create something so beautiful and with so much detail out of such a hard material to work with. In the Academia there were also other pieces of artwork that were amazing and I enjoyed viewing.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6575361379869689029-340253848315706183?l=florencejourney2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://florencejourney2009.blogspot.com/feeds/340253848315706183/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://florencejourney2009.blogspot.com/2009/01/galleria-academia.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6575361379869689029/posts/default/340253848315706183'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6575361379869689029/posts/default/340253848315706183'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://florencejourney2009.blogspot.com/2009/01/galleria-academia.html' title='Galleria Academia'/><author><name>lyssyarszs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05722029654194200614</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SWtyTrHE4WI/AAAAAAAAAAo/HWV8gGeuGN0/S220/DSC01983.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SXNhes_s2tI/AAAAAAAAACg/RWmzQsi1oFY/s72-c/DSC02575.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575361379869689029.post-3040969406804639115</id><published>2009-01-18T08:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-18T08:54:38.505-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Field Trip to the Pitti Palace</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SXNelzqsdkI/AAAAAAAAACI/_C1HKDHBYVM/s1600-h/DSC02510.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SXNelzqsdkI/AAAAAAAAACI/_C1HKDHBYVM/s200/DSC02510.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292677990707918402" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SXNelbaDp-I/AAAAAAAAACA/EhY9gvG91cs/s1600-h/DSC02504.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SXNelbaDp-I/AAAAAAAAACA/EhY9gvG91cs/s200/DSC02504.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292677984195684322" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SXNek7-UyDI/AAAAAAAAAB4/xIZOi5IojYo/s1600-h/DSC02502.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SXNek7-UyDI/AAAAAAAAAB4/xIZOi5IojYo/s200/DSC02502.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292677975757867058" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SXNekiRqj9I/AAAAAAAAABw/zP3uinouU3Y/s1600-h/DSC02500.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SXNekiRqj9I/AAAAAAAAABw/zP3uinouU3Y/s200/DSC02500.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292677968859664338" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On January 14th we took a trip to the Pitti Palace with the class. The Pitti family in Florence was owners of this palace and later the Medici family took over. Inside they exhibited artwork from the Baroque and Renaissance eras along with articles of clothing which was a costume exhibit. The Palace was very overwhelming with the ornate and decorative artwork and architecture. I enjoyed seeing the architecture and was very please that they had the different rooms displayed. The artwork wasn't in chronological order but rather how the family would have or had hung it when they lived there. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6575361379869689029-3040969406804639115?l=florencejourney2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://florencejourney2009.blogspot.com/feeds/3040969406804639115/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://florencejourney2009.blogspot.com/2009/01/field-trip-to-pitti-palace.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6575361379869689029/posts/default/3040969406804639115'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6575361379869689029/posts/default/3040969406804639115'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://florencejourney2009.blogspot.com/2009/01/field-trip-to-pitti-palace.html' title='Field Trip to the Pitti Palace'/><author><name>lyssyarszs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05722029654194200614</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SWtyTrHE4WI/AAAAAAAAAAo/HWV8gGeuGN0/S220/DSC01983.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SXNelzqsdkI/AAAAAAAAACI/_C1HKDHBYVM/s72-c/DSC02510.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575361379869689029.post-2970712867733485337</id><published>2009-01-15T07:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-15T07:22:05.065-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Mio Giorno al Mercato</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SW9UXeEtbPI/AAAAAAAAABo/K6FkaMDuYz8/s1600-h/DSC02531.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SW9UXeEtbPI/AAAAAAAAABo/K6FkaMDuYz8/s200/DSC02531.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291540849370164466" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SW9UXN8d04I/AAAAAAAAABg/6zvAkdujGXI/s1600-h/DSC02522.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SW9UXN8d04I/AAAAAAAAABg/6zvAkdujGXI/s200/DSC02522.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291540845040620418" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SW9UWgjlzcI/AAAAAAAAABY/l6eITyDwhLM/s1600-h/DSC02529.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_liZymHoP6vg/SW9UWgjlzcI/AAAAAAAAABY/l6eITyDwhLM/s200/DSC02529.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291540832856690114" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oggi mia classe e io sono andate al mercato.

My Professor discussed some of our schedule for our stay here in Florence and we also created out blogs. Today we also learned that it was a national holiday in Italy, the feast of the kings. Professor told us that all or most of the stores and shops would be closed and that there would be a parade around the Duomo. A group of the girls from class that I have met decided that we would go see the Duomo and walk around in town. After exploring the town for a while we had a nice lunch at a small restaurant right near the Duomo. I ate a small salad and had tortellini soup, it was really good!
