Looking Towards Rome
Part of the album: Italy Day 4: Florence
The story of David and Goliath is the accomplishment of David defeating a much stronger opponent, Goliath. When this sculpture was unveiled in 1504 it was placed with David looking towards Rome. Even though Florence wasn't as powerful, this statue was a warning to Rome to not mess with Florence.
