Turtles All the Way Down
The obelisks in front of Santa Maria Novella rest on turtles, who were one of the symbols of the Medicis. The turtles reminded me of the story about the person who thought that the Earth rested on the back of a giant turtle. When asked what the turtle rested on, the person replied, "Another turtle." When asked what the second turtle rested on, the person said, "It's turtles all the way down".
