If you are a fellow traveler that wants to see a place where history unfolds before your eyes, Firenze is a place that reveals all of the fascinating characteristics of the Italian Renaissance. The deep history can be seen through stone roads that people walk on and the the beautiful buildings that paint a lens into what the Italian “rebirth” really was. As a whole, the Renaissance was a period in which art aligned with social and political issues to transform the human persceptive. It was the combining of all skills to make a powerful city  have an inspired transformation This amazing transformation can be seen through the famous statue of David by Michelangelo. Having visited the statue of David, I can truly say  that photographs have not done this piece of art any justice. I was truly unaware of how massive it was as I approached the huge, historical statue, but what really took my breath away was the extent of detail on the piece. The body of the seemingly frozen human form captures every muscle as if they were flexing and every vein as if he was an alive individual simply standing in place. The power of the human body is truly portrayed through this piece of art. Through David, it is almost as if you can see into the moment it was built. This statue is only one example of the human rebirth and transformation during the time of the Italian Renaissance. The only advice I can give someone who comes to Firenze is to be prepared to be amazed and feel the deep history of the city surround you or, if done right, even feel the history within yourself.
