Day 6 - San Marco/Bargello/Florence Academy of Art

Happy Birthday Gabriel!
We spent our last day visiting Museo San Marco, the Domenican monastery, a treat for all who love Fra Angelico's religious paintings. He painted a mural in each cell. The students also had some time to sketch.
We also visited Bargello museum, it was first the Palace of the chief Magistrate, then the headquarters of the chief of pollice and now it houses some of the most beautiful sculptures in Florence.
After lunch we visited the Florence Academy of Art, perhaps your kids will be tempted to spend a couple of years in Florence learning how to paint like a true Master!
We spent some time sketching in Piazza della Signoria, under the Loggia, after which the students needed some more ice cream and some more market shopping and I needed not to look over my shoulders and count students!!!
