Bargello Museum of Art

About

Walking along an old alley in Florence, Italy, there is a moment when the low light of a certain villa is quietly etched into memory. The Bargello Museum, keeping its true nature hidden, holds a cool stillness between its stone walls. Amid the volume of painted stone sculptures filling the space, Bernini's 'Angel of Lorenzo' seems to watch silently over visitors. This place boasts a stillness as if holding its breath while listening to whispers of the past. This quiet moment, encountered within a bustling city, also meets the breath of ancient art said to have once been Columbus's sanctuary.
