Sadly, we're going to have to move on from the Florence pictures after this week, but I think it has become apparent that Teeny Tiny would live in Florence if he could. Before he left town, Teeny Tiny made sure to climb both Giotto's Campanile and the Duomo so that he could get one last look from above at his favorite Italian city. Halfway up the big tower, he found a big bell.
The Campanile provided great views.
Santa Croce.
It also offered a nice view of the big dome.
Next on the climbing agenda was the big dome itself.
During his climb to the lantern of the Duomo, Teeny Tiny checked the walls to see if he knew any of the names illicitly Sharpied on them in defiance of the multitude of signs.
He also made sure to get a good look at the interior of the cathedral before finishing the climb.
He was pleased by his proximity to the Last Judgment.
Cerberus gave him a bit of a fright.
Almost at the top, he sneaked a look out the window at the Campanile.
The long climb was worth it for the views of the Badia and Bargello.
The Palazzo Vecchio.
The Medici Palace.
San Lorenzo and the Medici Chapel.
Before he left Florence, Teeny Tiny saw almost all the great pieces of art in the city, but he wasn't allowed to take pictures with all of them. Don't doubt that he went to San Marco, the Medici Chapel, 756 churches, and the Uffizi.
He also made sure to hit the Academy and see Michelangelo's Prigioni and David.
Of course, he had to recreate that experience with a stand-in.
