    Basilica di Santa Croce

    September 29, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Spend a happy couple of hours paying our respects to Michelangelo, Galileo , Roasini, Machiavelli, Dante (although he rests elsewhere) and Florence Nightingale. (Although she is buried in Hampshire) Rested our eyes upon sculptures by Donatello and frescoes painted by Gaddi and Giotto.
    Honestly humbled to see his work and his final resting place (Michelangelo) and even a memorial to Leonardo Da Vinci.
    At €8 per person very worth it but be prepared to book in advance or queue.
