Galleria dell’Accademia is Florence’s second-most-visited museum. Located just off Piazza San Marco and reached by heading south from the piazza (square) along Via Ricasoli, and so to the museum, the Galleria itself is housed in Florence’s Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, originally established in the 16th century. The art collection on display here was acquired from the 18th century on, primarily as a means of tutoring its students. And while the gallery is home to an impressive range of paintings (Benozzo Gozzoli, Uccello, Botticelli, Filippino Lippi, Fra Bartolomeo, Perugino and others), it is best-known for its seven marble sculptures by Michelangelo.
Today’s Salzburg is one of the planet’s most toured cities, and 25% of its GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is attributable to tourism. Almost seven million visitors arrive each year – that’s some 47 guests for every Salzburg resident.
