Hard Bodies in Florence

Before we leave the topic of hard bodies, I must say Michelangelo's David is quite lovely. He served as a symbol of courage and intelligence triumphant over brute force at a time when the Florentine Republic was jubilant at the exile of the Medici tyranny.

But stoney faced David was not indestructable...No.. No. He may have slayed Goliath with a sling shot but he lost his arm to a bench that fell out of a window of the Palazzo Vecchio and broke his left arm in three places.
