Until recently, the park of Villa
Fabbricotti was dominated by a wonderful example of a Lebanon Cedar, right
at the top of the hill. The trunk 8 meters wide, almost 25 meters high and 200
years old. For its beauty and monumentality it was chosen by the District
Council of...
Fantastic
this work, certainly dating back to the lockdown in March and unfortunately already
in an advanced stage of deterioration. Protagonist Dante Alighieri,
acknowledged father of Italian literature and language, author of the “Divine
Comedy”, dressed as always in red and crowned with laurel. Arrested as caught
without a mask...
These are certainly difficult times to travel and fully enjoy the beauty of
a city like Florence. Especially because much of what it has to offer is
enclosed within those very precious jewelry boxes that are its museums and
churches.

This
striking and apocalyptic picture explicity depicts vanity, lust for money and
war. Vices and horrors afflicting humanity, represented as divinities, with a
halo, on a sort of altar, the names preceded by an S. indicating Sancta /
Sanctum (saint).
A
triptych of confused symbologies, but of no questionable meaning....
This impressive figure of an archer baby-girl
riding a giant spider, a very detailed and impacting image, leads us in a

Also this work, like the Dinosaur with a Cap, is
located on the external walls of the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy of the
University of Florence, along with other important works. The bee, a nice
animal and a symbol of industriousness and organization, suggests a positive
and constructive message,...
This tyrannosaurus is located on an external wall
of the University of Florence, Faculty of Literature and Philosophy. What is
the message? An obsolete and aggressive culture? But why green? Via degli
Alfani, Florence.
On
the ancient palaces of Florence you can still see the iron rings where the
horses were attached. Little men could dangle down attached to a ring ... Via
de' Pucci, Florence.
Here
we see flowers growing from a little girl's head. The crowd cheers, almost
venerates her. Is innocence true creativity? Via Bufalini, Florence.
It is not in Florence, but it is special and worthy of mention. On the entrance of a Casa del Popolo,
bombers dropping bombs were not in the original and have been added to clarify the events, in case of
misunderstanding. Picasso was not clear enough. Ortonovo, Massa Carrara.
