Michelangelo was the greatest of Florence??s artists. Visitors line up for hours at the Accademia Museum for a look at his impressive David. This 14-foot-high statue has become the ide-al human figure of the Renaissance. David is an example of Michelangelo??s talent for sculpting people simply, yet power-fully. More of Michelangelo??s works can be seen in the great Palazzo Vecchio. This building housed the Florentine government from 1299~1322.Painting and carvings of famous Italian artists fill the palace rooms. Michelangelo helped decorate the out-side, too. He chiseled a head into the palace wall. A story says that to win a bet, Michelanglo carved the head with his hands behind his back, facing away from the wall. Not far from the Palazzo Vecchio lies Florence??s Cathedral Square. The beautiful domed Duomo, or “House of God”, took nearly 150 years to build (1294~1436). One of the most famous engineers of the day designed it. Visitors still marvel at the dome, the crowning feature of the cathedral. To this day, no building in Florence may rise above the dome. 【语篇大意】文章介绍了艺术爱好者的天堂——佛罗伦萨。 1.The first paragraph is mainly to tell us 　　　????.
