Liberty Puzzles have outdone themselves with a glorious View of Florence. This is only the central two panels of four: it's 1,534 pieces, and nearly four feet long.

Just look at the embedded whimsies! There are angels and Vespas, artisans and Medici.

Here's Dante in a fine frenzy, glancing from hell to heaven, from the fires to the empyrean.
