Jour 41
Ceilings of Florence
12 février, Italie ⋅ 🌧 12 °C
This week I went to several sites for class including the Medici palace, Santa Maria Novella and Orsanmichele. Each one of these had works of art that absolutely blew me away. To get into the art history a little bit Orsanmichele had a raw groin vaulted ceiling. There was no fresco or painting covering up the original brick ceiling which was one of the coolest things I’ve seen. I am used to see fabulous paintings but seeing the raw brick was almost more interesting. I was able to fully see how each valut and art was created. The Medici palace was incredible. They commissioned so much work for their home and private spaces. The private chapel was my favorite room. Santa Maria Novella was also amazing. I saw Masaccio Holy Trinity and Giotto Crucifix along with the original frescos in the chapel. These frescos are the main event of this church now, however in the past, they would’ve been completely blocked off to the public. Only the elite class could go behind the transepts of the church. This means that even the high altar would be out of site for average worshipers. Masaccios holy trinity was covered in scaffolding but we were allowed to climb onto the scaffolding to view it so that was pretty cool.En savoir plus

Jour 34
So many stairs
5 février, Italie ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
For class I got to climb to the top of the dome and the clock tower. The stairs were definitely worth it for both. Climbing the dome was amazing. We got to get up close to the original frescos on the inside of the dome! We also got to see the spina pesce which was the masterful discovery that allowed this dome to be created without scaffolding at such a large scale! We got to see the tools used to make the dome along with a replica of the dome in a museum! One thing I learned from this is that I must have a rooftop terrace in my future house because we got to see them all over the city. We also got to see the duomo museum which had the original gates of paradise! I can’t even describe them they are so fantastic. Now I’m off to Lisbon Portugal!En savoir plus

Palazzo Davanzati
28 janvier, Italie ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
For class yesterday I got to visit a palace! It was built in the 1300s by a florentine family of the Davizzis. This was one of my favorite museums to visit so far because it felt so real. You could tell what every room was used for. It was huge and decorated so marvelously. There were so many paintings, altar pieces, and sculptures filling the walls of every room. There was also original medal work in the kitchen such as the pots used for cooking and heating water. My favorite rooms were the bed rooms and the kitchen. We also went to Dante’s house but that was way less interesting and also not proven to actually be his house.En savoir plus

Jour 21
Restoration Studio Visit
23 janvier, Italie ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Today for my art history class I went to an art restoration studio. They placed so much emphasis on not making things look new. It seems like that would be the goal of restoration, but instead the goal is to make the piece look as old as it is while still being legible. We got to see some paintings and sculptures in the process of being restored. With a black light you can actually see where things have been patched or worked on. We learned about a fine line that art restorers have to walk. If a section of a painting is damaged, they can only fix it if it doesn't require any imagination to replace what was lost. It is hard to explain without talking about it but something like a whole face missing would be beyond restoration. One of my favorite parts was learning that they actually take statues and paintings to the hospital to get mri and x rays done. It helps them see what objects are made of and what restoration has been done before. I learned so much but unfortunately can't type it all and don't want to bore everyone lol.En savoir plus

A little update
23 janvier, Italie ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
This week has been just as fantastic as the rest! I took an Italian cooking class and learned how to make an appetizer, pasta, two sauces, and a dessert. My school building was built in the 13th century and has been owned by wealthy families ever since. It is kind of insane to see original frescos and sculptures throughout the building. My classes are going well............ and they're definitely my top priority (wink wink). Also found a forest behind San Miniato and it was actually the prettiest thing EVER!En savoir plus

Today I did a hike to the Piazzale Michelangelo! The view was incredible and something I will be going back to see very often. I walked about 10 miles today all over the city and beyond the gates. Found some amazing things and also saw some wildlife! Guess what it is in the comments even though its a bad picture lol, hint it's a type of rodent!En savoir plus

Ciao Firenze!!
10 janvier, Italie ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
Ciao a tutti! Amo Firenze! It is the greatest place I could have asked for! I have learned more than I can even say in the past three days. I just can't imagine how much I will be lucky to know by the end of my program. I have met some incredible Italians and gone to see so many sites. Did you know Florentines used to build their bathrooms on the end of their houses so they could just poop out of a hole onto the sidewalk below? Firenze is also the city of flowers. It is absolutely beautiful and so much fun. I have been exploring everyday and finding new things all over. The worst part was the grocery store but that is okay I am learning, and I will be grocery shopping as little as possible....En savoir plus

Jour 14
Florence
29 décembre 2024, Italie ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
We all slept in! We are staying in the Santa Croce area, it is a little less busy than the main square, has some of the best restaurants, quaint streets and houses the largest Franciscan church in the world, associated with St. Francis of Assisi, Italy's patron saint since 1939. Kyle, Molly, Myself and Klaus walked around a bit, grabbed a bite to eat and a coffee. We did a little shopping before Bryce and Brooke met up with us. We went to an amazing food market with 3 levels and everything you could ever want to eat. Bryce and Brooke said it was some of the best pasta they had. We walked the packed streets filled with leather markets and stores. Next stop Santa Maria del Fiore, the Duomo, ranks as the world's third-largest cathedral. It took over 140 years to build and is still today the largest masonary dome. We climbed all 463 steps to the top with amazing views and then back down. We stopped for a quick aperol spritz and went to the famous I’ Girone De’ Ghiotti sandwich shop, it was very delicious but we all agreed we were more impressed with the sandwiches in Milan. Molly, myself and Brooke did a little shopping while the guys waited and had some beverages. We all took a little rest back at the apartment before dinner at II Vezzo. The dinner was great, the boys got the Florentine steak again and we had probably the best bolognese pasta ever. We went back to the market for gelato and walked back to the apartment, it was incredible how empty the streets that we could barely navigate earlier were. Off to bed early morning to Bologna tomorrow.En savoir plus

Jour 5–6
Florenz Tag IV
25 décembre 2024, Italie ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
24.12.2024
Guten Morgen Florenz....
Na endlich ist sie da .....die Sonne....lacht uns vom Himmel an..puhh es ist aber ganz schön kalt 3 Grad....
Das heißt alles anziehen was der Kleiderschrank an Lagen so bietet...

Ich hatte es mir nicht so kalt vorgestellt...mmhhh nicht gut vorbereitet...was war da nur los mit mir???

Nun sind wir aber unterwegs und machen uns auf Straßenkunst zu entdecken und einige Galerien zu besuchen...
Unser Tag der modernen Kunst sozusagen....

Wir schlendern zum Arno und genießen die Aussicht und den Blick über den Fluss.
Sehr schön ist es hier fantastisches Licht...Wir sind begeistert...

Im Viertel San Nicolo gehen wir auf Jagd nach Street Art und sind etwas traurig, dass vieles an Straßenkunst zerstört wurde...
Schön sind aber die pfiffig gestalteten Rollläden....die das Stadtbild verschönern auch wenn die Geschäfte geschlossen sind....

Die erste Galerie, in die wir unsere Schritte lenken möchten ist mit Kunst von Clet....der sich einen Namen gemacht hat...durch das witziges Gestalten von Straßenschildern, die dann zum Lachen und Nachdenken anregen....

Leider ist diese gerade geschlossen.... "Komme gleich wieder"
Wir hoffen gleich ist nicht gar nicht...und schauen uns ein bisschen in den Gassen um....
Schön ist es hier....ich habe das Gefühl im echten Florenz zu stehen...abseits von Touristenmassen...
Authentische Minigeschäfte...ganz viele Parfümeure gibt es hier und auch kleine Restaurants..

Und natürlich die Galerien....
In der MAX-Y Gallery werden wir fündig....all die hier bekannten Künstler*innen stellen hier aus...
Carla Bru, Blub, Exit Enter und viele mehr..

Na hier können wir doch nach Herzenslust stöbern.....das machen wir auch und sind begeistert von Carla Bru, die markante Frauen darstellt und Blub, der mit seinem Markenzeichen.... den Taucherbrillen seiner Form von Kunst Ausdruck verleiht...

Wir kommen mit der Galleristin ins Gespräch, Dank Carmen's Sprachkenntnissen und unserer Wissbegierde...und erfahren, warum die Street Art hier oft zerstört ist....
Die Kunst wird auf dünnem Papier aufgetragen und angebracht...
Also nichts für die Ewigkeit...

Und wir schlagen zu...
Jeder sackt Bilder ein...es gibt noch einen Pin und ein Kühlschrank-Bild für mich....
Wir lernen noch einen der Künstler kennen und freuen sich tierisch über unsere Einkäufe....

Nebenan hat jetzt auch Blub geöffnet...
da schauen wir auch mal vorbei...
Sehr nette Ideen.... witzig....seeehr witzig...

Nun noch ein hübsches kleines Mittagessen und dann kann es besser nicht mehr werden...

Wir finden das ZEB....nett sieht es aus...mal ein anderes Restaurantkonzept...
An einem langen Tresen von Weinflaschen umgeben...wird einem hier das Essen serviert....
Ja der Wirt ist etwas ruppig...mit wortlosen Gesten gibt er uns zu verstehen...wo wir zu sitzen haben..
Das ist ja gar nichts für unsere Carmen...

Aber wir geben ihm noch eine Chance....das Ambiente ist zu nett...
Und das Essen auch...
Es wird noch sehr nett...der Laden füllt sich...
Carmen schwatzt auf rechten Seite mit Spaniern...ich auf der Linken mit englischen sprachigen Mitmenschen...

Zurück geht es über eine der vielen Brücken....am Fluss in der Sonne entlang...vorbei am Galileo Museum...
Ziel ist nochmal die alte Apotheke....
Da hatte ich ein tolles Parfüm entdeckt...

Wir schnuppern uns erneut durch die tollen Düfte und bestaunen die tollen historischen Räume...
Ja...ich kaufe das Parfüm...man ist das teuer...Mein Geldbeutel ächtst...naja es ist ja schließlich Weihnachten....

Über den Plazza de Santa Croce geht es Richtung Dom....dann vorbei am Palazzo Vecchio..
Ohhh der wird toll angestrahlt....dazu gibt's schöne Musik...ein bisschen wie Festival of Lights zuhause...
Wir verweilen ein bisschen.....bis wir das Gefühl haben am kalten Boden fest zu frieren.....

Zuhause gibt es entspannt unsere Reste und eine kleine Bescherung....
Wieder geht ein ereignisreicher Tag zu Ende.....En savoir plus
