Florence is a beautiful city to visit and I thought that I’d look at some pictures I’d taken to find some examples of things that are round. First I found many examples in the Duomo.
Next I noticed the clock on the Palazzo Vecchio.
Then I thought of something a little different. Since I’m always looking for gelato when I’m in Italy it occurred to me that what could be better than a scoop of gelato in a round cone?
There are more examples here.
I had maple walnut gelato for desert at lunch today, a nice round scoop in a round bowl. Yummy. Great pictures!
