Andrea escorted me to the Accadamia Gallery where I snuck this illegal photo of Michelangelo’s statue of David. The hands of this 17-foot biblical man are huge! It was also easy to see that his left toes were subjected to some abuse in 1991 when a "deranged" man attacked the statue with a hammer he had hidden under his jacket. There are three replicas of this contemplating statue in various locations around Florence.
