Piazzale Michelangelo, what a wonderful hill of Florence

The Piazzale Michelangelo is dedicated to the city's most famous renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti. At the center of the square stands a replica of his most famous statue, the David. The bronze statue is set on a large pedestal, decorated with replicas of allegorical statues depicting day, night, twilight and dawn. The original, marble statue of David can be seen in theat the Galleria dell' Accademia.t was built in 1869 and designed by architect Giuseppe Poggi on a hill just south of the historic center, on completion of retraining of the left bank of the shore. From that fact, Florence was the capital of Italy and the whole city was involved in an urban renewal, the so-called rehabilitation, or the rebirth of the city middle class: they were created lungarni; on the right bank, instead of the fourteenth-century walls were open the avenues of the ring of a boulevard, on the left bank was traced, wind on the hill of San Miniato, the Viale dei Colli, a street tree overview 8 kilometers long, at whose climax the square was built as a terrace with a panoramic view inside the city.
Just remember that most of Piazzale Michelangelo is a parking lot, and one comes here to enjoy the view. It can be reached by taking either bus 12 or 13 from the center or the red two-level sightseeing tour bus. It can also be reached by foot, climbing up from Piazza Poggi found at the base of the hill upon which Piazzale Michelangelo sits.
 Hotel Mario's is not so far from the Piazzale ( as the Fiorentini call it ). You could walk through the Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio and then the amazing  quarter of San Niccolo' and if it's a beautiful and sunny day, it will be a pleasure.
 Make your reservation at Hotel Mario's and enjoy Florence and all its great spots.
