	011 of 123. A giant golden turtle - sculpture "Searching for Utopia" by Belgian artist Jan Fabre, sits in the middle of Piazza della Signoria. The turtle was a symbol of the Medici family and embodies the Latin motto the family adopted 'Hurry slowly'. The artist used the placement and subject of this statue to open a dialogue in Florence between the contemporary and the Renaissance, and took it one step further by placing himself into the piece – he's the man riding the turtle.
