Opera del Duomo & Bargello Museums

---

We begin today with a visit to the Bargello Museum. Then we move on to the "workshop" of the Duomo and the famous Baptistry. Next, a much enjoyed stop for "refreshment " (gelatto), and we are museumed-out. We make our way back to Santa Maria Nouvella and our hotel around the corner.
