Santa Croce- Your way to Florence ( Italy )
 

 

 
 
                   I make this Panorama Applet with  a photo of the "Piazza de Santa Croce" this famous florentine church. 
         The  most famous "inhabitants"of the Croce Church  are Michelangelo, Macchiavelli, Galileo and Bardi. Its various chapels feature works of art by Giotto and della Robbia, and the serene cloisters were designed by Brunelleschi. Santa Croce's museum features a crucifix by Cimabue, which unfortunately was severely damaged by the 1966 floods.  
     Just around the corner from Santa Croce you'll stumble across Casa Buonarroti, a house which Michelangelo owned but never lived in. Today, you'll find a collection of copies of the master's work. You'll find the real thing, however, at the Accademia Gallery: David in all his glory.  

            Florence is a beautiful, beautiful city!
