Florence, Italy Trip

This summer I was lucky enough to make my first visit to Italy. I had an absolutely fantastic time! I love exploring new places and culture. But what I loved most was the amount of art that fills up Florence! Everywhere I looked there was something new that inspired me artistically.

We visited many galleries and museums whilst in Florence such as the Uffizi, Palazzo Pitti etc. But my favourite was by far the Accedemia. I went there towards the end of the trip so had seen many copies of Michelangelo's 'David' before hand and didn't think that the real one would be that different. However, I was completely moved by it. This was one of the rare times in my life that I can genuinely say 'it took my breath away'. A photograph of it doesn't come anywhere near close enough to expressing what it feels like to see it in real life!

When I say 'there's inspirational art all around you', one form is architecture. You're surrounded by beautiful buildings filled with lots of tiny details built with human hands. It's just incredible!
