The wonders of Italy, continue to astound me, being part of this exchange visit and allowing me to see the artistic and culturual wonders of Tuscany with my students as first hand experiences, has been an opportunity not to be missed. Pisa and the leaning tower, Siena and Lorenzetti’s allegoric masterpiece on good and bad government have set a focal point to our educational initiative. Yesterday in Florence Michelangelo’s David stood majestically as a symbol of power, his gaze looking outwards making valid judgements even to day.
Empoli’s central location makes it ideal for anyone to discover the wonders of this region. Empoli has several important artistic and cultural jewels that can be found with a little enterprise.
