I was looking forward to our visit to Florence, where so much art is on display. Unfortunately, we arrived late in the afternoon on a Sunday and the museums were closed. We did get a tour of the outdoor gallery which included the three statues shown here. A reproduction of "David" was also in this Piazza. I found these three to be disturbing and was reminded that art served a purpose to educate by depicting historical events, not all art is to be uplifting.

Entitled "The Rape", this statue dramatically depicts the ethnic cleansing of the time.
