On the 7th, we had an interesting conversation about Florence and the works that came to represent the town and the people in it. The most interesting part of the conversation for me was the piece about the very consistent change in work in the plaza of Florence. It was fascinating because it ended up basically becoming an outdoor art museum. The sculptures told a lot about the character and storyline of those who elected for them to be placed there as well as spilling the beans on the struggles in the city of Florence with the changing hands of power. We also spoke on the different guilds that were in the city and the importance art played in the characterizing of those guilds. Specifically, how the guilds would recruit the best artists to create works for their purposes. The collection of guilds was really different from what I had originally imagined as well so it was a really fruitful conversation in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
