Fans of Michelangelo’s statue David have three opportunities to see it. A replica was placed in front of the Palazzo della Signoria when the original was moved to Accademia Gallery in 1873. This bronze cast adorns the center of Piazzale Michelangelo, also known as Michelangelo Square. At the pedestal’s base are figures representing day, night, twilight and dawn. The original marble allegorical statues by Michelangelo adorn tombs in the Medici Chapels at San Lorenzo Basilica.
