We settled in the little town of Sperlonga, Italy, in the delightful Hotel Aurora. The beach is beautiful, and although out has rained a bit, the weather has been equally beautiful.
We wound up the day with a visit to the Duomo in Florence. Then back to the hotel. I include a snap of the Palazzo Vecchio with the phony David in front. Great sights.
A remarkable set of Seven Virtues by Botticelli. These are among the earliest known works of Botticelli. Prudence, Justice, Hope, Charity, Faith, Temperance, and Fortitude, respectively. Prudence Justice Hope Charity Faith Temperance Fortitude
The first order of business in Florence is to go to the Uffizi Gallery. And the first order of business at the Uffizi is Botticelli! Below, the Birth of Venus, and some ceilings.
