People go to Florence to walk across the iconic Ponte Vecchio over the Arno River. They point themselves to this central Italian city in order to gawk at Brunellescchi’s enormous dome crowned upon the Cathedral of Santa Maria de Fiore. They march to Florence so they can stroll the cheese-and-prosciutto-flanked aisles of the Mercato Centrale. 

But most of all, they come to Florence to stand in front of some of the most iconic artworks in Florence: Michelangelo’s 17-foot-tall “David” sculpture. But not just that, but several works by Donatello, the “Gates of Paradise” by Ghiberti, and “The Deposition” by Michelangelo.
