The day begins early, 2:30 am-ish. Disco Karaoke has ended and some students have returned in good spirits, loud conversations are held in the hall, there is shushing and thumping. Greco Roman wrestling has erupted in one of the rooms. The students are encouraged to go to bed and sleep. Apologies are offered.
We begin at the Palazzo Medici Ricardi and take turns seeing their small but gorgeous Chapel of the Magi. No photography allowed. A viewing of the just restored Madonna del Cardellino by Raphael follows this, also with no photography allowed. Stunning. Conveniently there is a book store with things for sale to help you remember the art.
Break for lunch.
Walk back to the Piazza della Signoria to see the annual Procession of the Magi parade. It was spectacular with cannons, drums, flags, and period costumes.
