By Warning: Nude Statues
When studying abroad in Florence as a very young adult I was actually kind of embarrassed at first with all of the nude statues. I no longer am, after the first couple of days of seeing nude art all the embarrassment fades. The pieces below are standing in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Italy. I spent a good bit of time hanging out in this piazza with friends I made while studying abroad.
This piazza has experienced much of the politics of Florence throughout the centuries. The Palazzo Vecchio is a symbol of civic power in Florence and construction on it began in 1299. If you ever get the chance I highly suggest visiting.

Fontana del Nettuno by Ammannati
Hercules and Cacus by Bandinelli
If you have been to Florence what did you think of Piazza della Signoria? I thought it beautiful, full of history, energy, and beauty. There is more art in the piazza but it is associated with the Loggia dei Lanzi and I want to explore that later. Have a great rest of your week and safe travels!

Yes it is! I was there for just over 3 weeks and feel like I could have stayed another 3 and still not have seen everything.
