Florence Fun Fact!
The word 'bankrupt' originated in Florence. There was a market in Florence where Merchants all had their benches to do trading. When the Merchants could no longer afford to trade, the market owners would come and ceremonially break the merchant's bench, which translates into bankrupt. If you find the sheep statue, you have found the market bench breaking occurred. Today the covered area is a small flea market.
Thus ends the fun fact

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
