Italy - Florence - Construction in Piazza degli Uffizi

The reflections of renaissance statues of Hercules and David are seen reflected in builder's van parked adjecent to the Piazza della Signoria in Florence's Piazza degli Uffizi. A 16th century portrait of a medieval nobleman or official rises above the vehicle and a yellow compressor is seen behind. Top left is the Uffizi art gallery that houses many national treasures but this is a scene of an urban dystopia where construction forever interferes with the cultural idyll that visitors from around the world come to see. The white marble sculpture Hercules and Cacus is to the right of the entrance of the Palazzo Vecchio in the Piazza della Signoria, Florence, Italy. The Hercules and Cacus is a work by the Florentine artist Baccio Bandinelli (1525-1534) and the David is Michelangelo's replica, now also in the Uffizi.
