I got into Florence on Friday, found my apartment, went to the local store to get food, and that was that.
on Saturday, I was slow getting started, but walked to the plaza of Santa Maria de Fiori, the cathedral, with both the duomo and baptistry. It was afternoon, so I bought a ticket and went through the museum. It’s a really interesting museum and has Donatello’s Magdalen and a late Pieta by Michelangelo which he supposedly broke in frustration (and was then repaired)
they also have Ghiberti’s baptisry doors, which are stunning
and lots of information about the facades of the Cathedral, whish have been changed over the years
