Florence’s streets are an open-air museum of classical sculpture. Masterpieces by Michelangelo, Donatello, and Giambologna adorn piazzas and palaces, from the imposing David replica in Piazza della Signoria to the graceful Neptune Fountain and countless lesser-known gems tucked into courtyards and niches. But Florence isn’t just about the past. Its vibrant street art scene adds a contemporary twist to the historic cityscape. Local and international artists like Clet Abraham and Blub bring humor, wit, and commentary to modern life through altered street signs and playful paste-ups of famous artworks wearing diving masks. Together, Florence’s sculptures and street art reflect a city where tradition and innovation meet on every corner.
