| Clues | With a little bit of research on the Internet you should be able to find the answer to this one in a couple of minutes. |
| Answer |
On May 27, 1993 a car bomb exploded in Florence, Italy killing 5 people and
injuring 37 others. The blast heavily damaged the Uffizi gallery (where the
"Birth of
Venus" painting is located). The Uffizi is one of the oldest and
greatest art museums in the world. This is usually a very quiet city and it
was one of the worst disasters in the city in decades!
This
happened a couple of blocks from the hotel I was staying while I was going
to school to study Italian. The blast shook me from my bed at one in the
morning, I went down to the place a few minutes after it happened and
grabbed some video with my camera. There was a lot of broken glass and
injured people. Luckily, we had a field trip the next day and we went to
sleep early. Otherwise, we would have probably been around that area since
there was a club we used to go to
nearby. Follow link for pictures: Picture1, Picture2 |
