"...Ferdinand, we salute thee...the bronze came from Turkish cannons."

You will recall from A Room With A View when Charlotte and Eleanor are walking about they salute the statute of Ferdinand I? Well here it is...

Also from the film, you recall the shots of the statutes prior to the murder scene? Here is the slaying of Medusa...

The loggia where George administered aid to Lucy after she fainted.

And here is Neptune...he stands in the pool where the crowd tried to revive the victim.

All of these (except Ferdinand) are found in the Piazza Della Signoria, where the Palazzo Vecchio and the Uffizi are. We toured the Palazzo Vecchio this morning. How beautiful it was. I did not take my camera, but had a classmate take some representative photos of me in the building.
