Our first visit in Florence was to the Academy Gallery to see Michelangelo's monumental figure of David in all his glory. Interesting to note that the statue depicts a man of about 18years in age whereas in the Bible he is said to be about 14 years. Unable to take photos in the Gallery we had to settle for the 'copied' version which is outside in the square. The Ponte Vecchio bridge (photo) managed to survive the war because Hitler would not allow it to be destroyed!
