Some statues on board the Ex Costa Firenze.
When I was on board the Costa Firenze a couple of years ago I took some photos of some of the statues that were there.
Dante and especially these two of a girl walking her dog (which were at the Sunset Bar) that reminded me so much of my wife walking our pitbull.

The cenotaph of Dante Alighieri in Santa Croce in Florence.
Walking inside the splendid basilica of Santa Croce in Florence, not by chance also called the Pantheon of Italian glories, there is also a splendid monument (a cenotaph) dedicated to Dante Alighieri.
The cenotaph differs from the tomb because it does not house the body of the deceased who in this case is buried in Ravenna.
