We went to Villa Demidoff to an event to see animals and to have lunch outdoors in the beautiful and historic park. There were a LOT of people and I had a hard time taking pictures of animals let alone Sisi AND the animals. So here are the photos from our little outing at the outdoor fair ( about 15 minute from Florence)
Sisi and some little ducklings
Some big cows
Gimmy's favorite part... the tractors.
Sisi's favorite part... the balloon.
Remember these huge beasts from another post? This animal that is on the menu as bistecca fiorentina (large yummy steak)
Wow, these guys are huge!
You see the Giant behind me? That is the Colossus Apennine by Giambologna around the year 1580. It is a really magnificent sculpture.
Having a snack in the park. The park is so big and we had been walking around for a while we never made it to the actual villa. The Villa was owned by the Medici family, it was later bought by a Russian family (therefore Demidolf) and have been tranformed over the years but still remains one of the most beautiful places in Tuscany.
