Central Market, Orsanmichel, Piazza della Signori

Our last few days in Florence were a hodge-podge of sights, filling in some gaps, indulging some curiosities.

For sightseeing as well as purchasing purposes, we always try

to hit the central market; I have posted about so many now

that I am trying to limit myself to only the most unusual or

interesting shots: here, an item of the plant kingdom we

never did figure out 

And here, an action shot: the master butcher whacking off

some beef-steak Florentine for us; we figured we could

cook this ourselves

More ditto

Not cheap, but worth it

Apparently these items are not so highly valued

We also visited the Orsanmichel, another church

with an interesting history (originally a granary)

And great scultpure

And then back to the Piazza della Signori for a

look at more sculpture, including Cellini's

Perseus

And--X marks the spot--the precise place on the Piazza

where Savanarola was "martyred" on his own Bonfire of

Vanities
