Just down the street from Hotel Casci is the
Galleria dell'Accademia. In this museum is an entire wing full of Michelangelo's works including the iconic David.
Although there were signs all around the statue admonishing to not take photos, flashes were popping all around so I finally pulled my camera out and took a
couple.
After we had seen everything in that wing, we walked through a small passageway into the rest of the museum. In that passageway was a door, like into a service closet. Except the wall around this mundane doorway was painted to look like an elaborate entrance way. I was amazed.
So I snatched out my camera and started taking pictures. Instantly a guard approached me and begin warning me to not take pictures or he would confiscate my camera! You'll see I got
one anyway.
