Also, if I may point out, for as long as I've been reading the Slog, this is the first time I've seen a positive review of something influenced by Judeo-Christian beliefs (yes, that's snarky, but as far as I know it's also true).

And also a possible criticism about how little anyone cares about the classics.

Also, I'm not sure why you weren't able to see any of the originals when you were in Florence; they've been on display in the Duomo museum since 1990 when they were taken off the babtistery. They keep them in sealed nitrogen containers. Did you skip the museum?

I did skip the museum. I wanted to see them outside, where they were originally installed, but no could do. I believe they were being conserved at the time as well.
