Rick's Video of the Month: December 2010
Florence, Italy: Michelangelo's David
In this 2-minute clip from his TV series, Rick tells the story of Michelangelo's most famous sculpture: David. You'll see its impressive setting in Florence's Accademia, where David is accompanied by the artist's dramatic, unfinished Prisoners — just a few of the hundreds of Renaissance treasures scattered across this remarkable city.
Going there? Here's a list of places where Michelangelo's masterpieces live today (we've tossed in Leonardo, too)!
