Dear Lord, please make the Travelling Clampetts stick to Primark, Lidl/Aldi & Flying Tiger.
I'm so thankful they didn't get to see Rome when I've seen what they've done to Florence and fear for Venice.
Twatman, little heads up, Palazzo Vecchio was built between 1245 and 1302, please note that is not the 12th century, it is indeed the 13th & 14th century. Put your kids back in the education system.
You weren't actually in the Palazzo though, just walking through the freebies I think.
You didn't actually have to say you know nothing about Italian history, it was very evident at 18.08 when you didn't realise behind you was a copy of Michelangelo (not the ninja turtle, the actual Michelangelo) David.
At 18.10 you gave us a glimpse of the statue of Hercules and Cacus.
When you arrived at Santa Maria del Fiore, you just knew it was a cathedral.
I'll enlighten you a bit. It's also known as 'Duomo di Firenze' or just 'Duomo'. Whats the importance of this particular building? It's especially important because of the 3 unique features that helped spark the Renaissance and inspire artists and engineers across Europe.
The one of a kind dome (the largest masonry vault in the world) was designed and built by Filippo Brunelleschi, a foundling father or Renaissance architecture with the generosity of Cosimo Medici the elder.
Glad you had a look at it on your way to Flying Tiger though.
Sarah, you really had me scratching my head with your ramblings of 'dem adicci'. I finally realised you were referring to the House of Medici, that old Italian banking and political dynasty.
I know you glanced at 'the fountain of knowledge' Chris to make sure you were saying the right thing. You said 'Catherine dem adicci' was basically Mary Queen of Scots mother in law but more importantly she was the queen consort of France and that ties in well with Italy and more importantly Florence because this is where she was born, she was an Italian noblewoman'.
Catherine married King Henry II, making her queen consort (I'm assuming you know that doesn't make her a queen). You didn't seem sure what you were sProuting. One of their children King Francis II married Mary Queen of Scots and he became king consort of Scotland, (note not king). Hope you're getting it now.
Rain makes everything shiny??? Just the type of weather I want when being a tourist in a city.
And a few hours in ANY city and you won't even have scratched the surface.
Hop back in the shagwag and drive up and down the motorway a few more times.
