Pretty cool! Been to Florence a lot as a kid. We used to go there on school excursions in summer. I remember seeing all the sculptures and paintings. Lot of Michelangelo work there, even unfinished. What amazed me the most was the faux-perspective painted on curved and spherical ceilings in the churches. You could really see the depth from the right viewpoint. All the buildings are made of a mix of white, green and red marble blocks, like lego puzzles, on a scale that is so gigantic it's hard to comprehend how they built all this.
