It was a sunny afternoon when a friend of mine just asked me to go outside and try to visit the very exclusive gardens of Four Seasons Hotel, in Florence. Why not?
We could have a walk in the garden and then enjoy a fruit juice there (considering that it’s Sunday, and it’s the day after Saturday, the end of the weekend, it’s better not to drink again and be ready for Monday)..
So.. we were saying fruit juice, or detox cocktail, isn’t it?
Anyway, we just went around and suddenly we noticed different white sculptures in those gardens..I couldn’t ever imagine there could be so modern sculptures in that location! I felt as being in the Sculpture gardens of Washington DC! Those are the gardens and their wonderful tress and flowers:
Apparently, all the sculptures represented a sort of contrast between the traditional, romantic and ancient age on one hand and the modern, mixed and distorted reality on the other hand, look at those pictures:
And here you are some details: see the stuff sticking the masks! They are cartoons statues, pieces of glasses, mobile phones, Micky Mouse, Winnie the Pooh and all those characters that are part of the youngest life:
