Florence, Italy was breathtaking. I took this picture from Piazzale Michelangelo that the place you can see Florence from above. Also, there was a replica of the statue of David. When I went there, the Brunelleschi's dome (a.k.a. Florence Cathedral) was under restoration, but still. The view of Florence was so stunning. I've heard a story about Brunelleschi's dome from my Italian acquaintance. The story in my memory is like this. When Michelangelo went to Rome to design St. Peter's Basilica, the great architect said that he would build a bigger dome than the Florence Cathedral, but it would not be more beautiful.
