New Year’s Eve in Florence!!

Renaissance art and Uffizi prep, then walk to the Uffizi. Shopped, got some, rest, and then went to New Year‘s Eve dinner. Dinner included Bistekka, the huge Florentine steaks usually served very rare. Some of us asked and they cooked it as well as their consciences would let them! We all managed to do it proud. It was delicious and the potatoes were excellent.

Uffizi
U-shaped building. Go to the second floor and work around. Cleaning the stone all over the place.

Uffizi
Ceiling, one of many in the halls

Judith Slaying Holofernes
One of my favorites!

Anunciation
Sometimes, the frames are as big a project as the art!

Explanation for next pic
Note that the impish angel looks ready to give Christ a Push out the window.
Made for a home, not a church
