  • Agnolo de Cosimo Bronzino's exibition posters and QVC Tv channel street promo at Piazza Strozzi..Eleonora di Toledo (1522 - 1562), the daughter of Don Pedro Álvarez de Toledo, the Spanish viceroy of Naples. Her face is still familiar to many because of her solemn and distant portraits by Agnolo Bronzino. She provided the Medici with the Pitti Palace  and seven sons to ensure male succession and four daughters to connect the Medici with noble and ruling houses in Italy. She was a patron of the new Jesuit order, and her private chapel in the Palazzo Vecchio  was decorated by Bronzino, who had originally arrived in Florence to provide festive decor for her wedding.

  • From inside a large cube, we see Italian artist Michaelangelo Pistoletto's "Metrocubo d'Infinito" mirror installation at Palazzo Strozzi in the Medici Renaissance city of Florence. While the exterior of the cube looks like a gigantic rusty rubix-cube, inside is really a kind of infinity of self-reflection, covered entirely, floor to ceiling, in mirrors. And in the centre of the cube is another smaller cube made of grey stone. Young female visitors engage with the artwork and peer down to the floor where, just like all four walls and the ceiling, the repeating image stretches as far as the eye can focus.

  • Near the chaotic road junction of Piazza Venezia in the Italian capital of Rome, we see a gridlock situation of traffic. Buses, cars and three scooters and riders appear to be stuck in the middle of a motoring nightmare as no-one goes anywhere - the progress of this journey to destinations and life itself, has ground to a halt. A bus passenger looks out resigned through her window, a driver on another vehicle rests his hand on a ledge and the riders are sandwiched between cars. The dot matrix sign on the 60 bus it mentions its own destination, the abbreviation for Piazza spelled as "P.za". The Piazza Venezia takes its name from the adjacent Palazzo Venezia, the former embassy in the city of the Republic of Venice. The piazza is at the foot of the Capitoline Hill and near the Roman Forum.
