Thursday, May28
Today was a very significant day in my life. Today we took a
visit to a facility any kid or just about anyone would wish they could attend.
We took a tour inside the Lamborghini Production facility. Who would of
expected that the owner of this facility would name its company after the bull
fighting in Spain and make it very significant to its identity. The owner
Ferrucio Lamborghini was a Taurus for his zodiac sign and based on that he
decided to adopt a raging bull as the emblem for his facility and for the other
cars he continue to name them after bulls like the Gallardo, Hurricane and so
on.
After the tour in the city of Bologna we returned to Florence to attend class. For class we did a walking tour around the city was we went around to talk about some of the statues that are located around the city. Based on some of the statues we know Donatello was an artist who had lots of variety. We came across a statue of St. George where we get the impression that something is about to happen or as if he was waiting for action. We also attended the St. Lorenzo church, which has a marble with gothic architecture to honor a painting of Virgin Marie. Inside the church is a painting where Virgin Marie is carrying Jesus and he’s holding a bird that indicated an illusion of death. The church was dedicated to Arcangel Michael. The St. Lorenzo church was also famous for the Medici chapel. This church was one of the oldest in Florence and was redesign at the beginning of the fifteen-century. Donatello was buried next to Cosimo the first. He was one of Cosimo’s favorite artists. Inside all the Medici are buried and the reason its not build with marble is because they ran out of money. We also came around to Plaza Republica which was the place were the Jewish community was force to leave and this was also the place for the old central market.
