Of all the magnificient statues I've seen in Rome and Florence this week, I have to say this is one of the most impressive ones. The expressions on the faces are simply spectacular, as are the details of the muscle tones and arches of the bodies. Entitled, Rape (Abduction) of the Sabine Women by Giovann Da Bologna, this statue sits on a pubic space in Piazza della Signora in Florence.

I'm happy you made it not only to Rome but also to Florence! Two magnificient cities (and there are many more of them in Italy)!
Bravo for posting during your trip! When I travel, I don't -
I'm on "holidays"! :-)
Wonderful....thanks for sharing your wonderful trip with us bloggers.
I've always thought that this sculpture is so well done, it's actually painful to look at.
You are giving us quite a tour Ming. This is just lovely. Keep posting. I'm with Peter, posting on a trip is hard work but we are loving it.

How lucky you are to travel in Italy.
Enjoy your trip.

Glad you are having a great time. That statue brings back fond memories. I once, briefly lived around the corner from Piazza della Signora.
