Postcard From Florence

Adorationghirlandaio

We have had family here again for the past week so between work and spending time with them we have been neglecting the blog, again. Here is a short list of what is going on: there are many Easter related events happening, the Italian elections are going on and it looks like Berlusconi is going to lose, I managed to visit Santa Trinità finally - there is an amazing Ghirlandaio Adoration of The Magi there as well as a cycle of frescoes by him about the life of St. Francis in the Sasseti Chapel - I continue to believe the Ghirlandaio does not really get enough respect as one of the best painters of his time. His colors are amazing. Santa Trinità is definitely worth a visit. The weather has been much warmer and Florence is swamped with tourists... and that is about it for now. More soon -
