Please click on the following pictures to enlarge them. I took them from Michelangelo Square this morning December 19th, 2009. This panoramic hill can be considered a natural terrace overlooking the city of Florence: best view guaranteed!  The statue of David (it’s a copy, a famous copy anyway, the original is in the Academy museum) was covered with snow … so were the trees, the roofs, the dome, everything. It was hard to walk because of the snow around and many people– both locals and tourists – were here taking pictures of this amazing rare event. It probably snows once every five years in Florence.
