Here’s something you might find if you take the right short cut going from the Ponte Vecchio to the Duomo in Florence.
It’s fun watching people do a double take as they see these human forms with animal heads climbing walls and performing trapeze acts.

Hello World 
Hmmm not sure what to make of that parade…feeling if I saw it in person it might be different, either that or give me nightmares! ha! And not sure it thats because they are flying around naked or because they are 1/2 animal! 🙂

It’s like a lot of modern art, we’re left thinking “Hmmm”. The Arte Biennale in Venice has me doing that, a lot.

I did see these last year…but had no idea there was symbology behind the various creatures heads. I walked by them each time I went down Via Apostoli to see if my favorite little church was open. I finally stopped into the nearby hotel and was told the churchman who had the keeping of it for many years had died. I am wondering if it has been opened up again?

I’ve passed it a few times, and can’t say I’ve seen it open, Jane. But, I’ll look more closely. Jeff Cotton, on http://www.churchesofflorence.com/ says it is open from 10-12 and 3:30-7. Let’s see!

Many peppy rampant wolves around the little piazza del lembo also on bell tower……Stemma of the Altoviti….”.smile”.

Much nicer than Anthony Gormley’s range of “bodycast” art in England – on Crosby beach, and many other places. Those are really nice little figures trotting up the walls. Thanks, Yvonne, for another “Good ‘un”.

I saw them when I was here for a couple of days, last year, and was pleasantly surprised to see them still here (but looking a touch weather worn) this year.

I did a post on this last year. I thought it was to come down in January 2015. They must have decided to extend it.
