  • 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.

  • Above tourists from south Asia, we see Michelangelo's David, Baccio Bandinelli's Hercules & Cacus and Benvenuto Cellini's Perseus with the Head of Medusa statues stand in Piazza della Signoria, beneath the fortress palace Palazzo Vecchio. Piazza della Signoria is an L-shaped square in front of the Palazzo Vecchio ("Old Palace") which is the town hall of the city. This massive, Romanesque, crenulated fortress-palace is among the most impressive town halls of Tuscany. Overlooking the square with its copy of Michelangelo's David statue as well the gallery of statues in the adjacent Loggia dei Lanzi, it is one of the most significant public places in Italy, and it host cultural points and museums.

It is said that the statue's genitals were created smaller to imply that David was not allowing himself to make decisions with pleasure in mind. "David" is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created between 1501 and 1504, by the Italian artist Michelangelo. It is a 5.17 metre (17 feet) marble statue of a standing male nude. The statue represents the Biblical hero David, a favoured subject in the art of Florence but soon came to symbolise the defence of civil liberties in the Florentine Republic, an independent city-state threatened on all sides by more powerful rival states and by the Medici family.

  • A group of American interior design students sketch buildings adjacent while sitting on steps of public building in Florence's Piazza Di Annunziata. The small class is made up mostly of young women and there is a young man who is apparently teaching one woman how to capture the finer points of the architecture opposite. They all have sketchpads on their laps and are either looking into the distance, memorising the landscapes - or using pencils to reproduce these features on to paper. Florence and other Italian cities are full of young Americans studying music and painting, art and design, completing and complimenting US-based courses often as foreign exchange students or as residential terms.

  • Safety and rescue equipment belonging to the London Fire Brigade's 'extrication' team who gave a demonstration on how firefighters rescue passengers by cutting open with dedicated cutting equipment a stretch limousine in London's Covent Garden Piazza. Highlighting the dangers of hiring illegal luxury or novelty cars, this vehicle was seized last year with many mechanical defects rendering it unsafe for those inside with limited exit doors. Of 358 cars stopped in March 2012, 27 were seized and 232 given prohibitions. This scenario is a simulation and therefore reproduces the reality of an emergency, using real emergency services personnel and equipment. Casualties are volunteers and none were injured in the making of this photograph.
