Statue of David at Caesars Palace
So, I’ve already mentioned that the David statue at Caesars is an exact replica and by that I mean it is identical to the real deal housed at the Galleria dell’Accademia in the city of Florence, Italy.
Not only have the artists gone to the extreme trouble of matching every detail but the statue is carved from Carrara marble. This is the exact type of marble used for the original.
Carrara marble is quarried in the town of Carrara in the far northern tip of Tuscany, Italy
If you’d like to compare the two statues, here’s an image I took of the actual Statue of David in Florence, Italy.
