While Florence is mostly a Renaissance town, we came across multiple parts of a large modern art installation by the Belgian artist Jan Faber. His very odd and quirky bronze statues are found all over the piazzas and gardens of the city. Here's a small sample of the installation entitled
Spiritual Guards. Quite different from what we've been seeing so far. Tristan was not impressed, but what would you expect...

| Joy found this row of water-filled bathtubs particularly interesting. |

Mario, the chrome heads in the garden remind me of several installations of former Soviet leader's busts that I saw in many cities in Kazakhstan.
