Street View Italia!
Thursday, 30th October 2008 by James Turnbull
Hot on the heels of Street View in Spain earlier this week comes Street View in Italy1, covering Milan, Florence, Rome and Lake Como.
This is a copy of Michelangelo's David standing at his original location in front of the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence.
Make sure to tell us what you find, or if you prefer your Italy Sightseeing in Italian, head over to Google Sightseeing Italiano.

Yesterday I posted about the street view cars to our Rotacoo blog, and correctly predicted that Italy would be next on the list. Could UK street view be imminent? ↩︎
More nakedness on GSS!
Won’t somebody think of the children?
Hmm. Not Venice?
Oh man you just KNOW there are going to be some HOT Italian chicks on view here…hottest. women. on. earth!!
Frackin’ awesome, just been roaming the streets of my youth
Woah, I knew David was big, but he really is big!
Is this the driver of the google car, stepping out for a stretch?

@Glenn – looks like he’s fiddling with the camera for some reason. Maybe turning it off?
A wee bit up the road is this very odd garden:

Which looks to be full of small statues and, er.. fireplaces? Weird.
@NRT well, for Venice they have to build a google boat first, as there are no streets in which cars can drive.

@Alex the strange garden is a seller of garden furniture, statues, and so on. is common for this kind of business to have such an exposition.
