Academia - Florence, Italy Report Abuse
Michelangelo's David at the end of the hall of slaves. the waves of tour groups stop there, leaving the back galleries, filled with iconic art and few visitors. Sit for a few minutes on one of the benches near David and watch the facial expressions of the throngs as they enter the hall of slaves. The power of art.
