On our day trip to Florence, we managed to get into the Galleria degli Uffizi. I cannot stress this enough…there are over 100 rooms of artwork (not just 100 pieces…100 rooms of pieces). Walking through this museum was like walking through the pages of an art history book…and it was fantastic!
So, let’s get started shall we…
