4. You *have* to go to the Academia dell'Arte in Florence to properly
get the "David experience". It's more remarkable than any reproduction or slide you've seen.

6. And he's gonna get a cleaning
Was reading in one my art newspapers about it - they've been working on a way to clean him for about a year and a half. Under much controversy, of course. But it looks like they're gonna go ahead and do it this fall.

Abd by "they" I mean the museum he's at.
