What a day. We signed up for a small group tour of the Uffuzi Gallery and Academia and only had two other people with us and an outstanding guide. It was like a private tour. Not only was Larisa well versed in art history, but she got us right in front of all of the important works with no waiting in line. Here is Botticelli's Primavera and Birth of Venus. I got tears in my eyes when I saw the Birth of Venus in person.
The colors of Raffaello are still stunning.
There were windows in the Uffuzi that had great views of the Arno River.
Then we walked to Accademia to see David. He was magnificent. You can't really tell from the photo, but he was huge. Wow!
After a morning of art, we wandered to the Mercato Centrale to look at the food and have a snack. Great spot.
Fabulous last day in Firenze.
