Today was the first day of classes. I have the 9:00 history class. We met our teacher who is very nice and passionate about the Italian Renaissance. We went to Orsanmichele for the second half of the class. Orsanmichele was originally a grain market. The market was closed off during the fourteenth century and was used for grain storage and a meeting place for the guilds.
The bottom floor of Orsanmichele which is now a church.
A replica of a florin.
The St. Mark statue made by Donatello.
Shields representing some of the guilds.
After class we visited Panini Toscani and bought our textbooks. At 7pm I had a cooking class. The class was super fun and enjoyable. We made chicken and biscotti.
