Equestrian statue of Grand Duke Ferdinando I

De' Medici descendant Ferdinando looking down the Via dei Servi towards the Duomo, on the piazza in front of the Ospedale degli Innocenti.

This is the first backblip from my excursion to Florence. To sum it all up; it was hot and we did see a lot (that rhymes!). No, it was just really great. Nice people (it was me and a friend, historians, amidst 30 art historians, so amidst 30 girls :P), nice weather, and we've just seen and done so much... Visited every church in Florence (some twice), seen every palazzo, seen some wonderful works of art (though the 2 of us actually only went for the architecture), been to Siena and San Gimignano, etc...
