Other than the Uffizzi

I saw the highlights of the Uffizzi a few years ago when we came with Janet and Davina and don't share Tim's interest in Renaissance art, so wandered round Florence and went to the Archaeological Museum. It has some splendid stuff from the Etruscan period which we know little about. There are some lovely artifacts which show heavy Greek influence, but also some distinctive Etruscan styles. Surprisingly little Roman influence. They also have some nice Egyptian stuff but as we are spending all Sunday in the wonderful Museo Egizio in Turin, I didn't spend so much time here.Weiterlesen
