THE LEATHER SCHOOL IN FLORENCE'S
HISTORIC BASILICA SANTA CROCE
It was more than I’d normally pay for one
bag, but worth every penny.
Even the extra $75 import fee I had to pay Fed Ex
upon delivery in Miami.
Did I mention they embossed my initials in gold inside
the bag?
And, oh yeah, the Basilica is the largest
Franciscan church in the world.
It has sixteen chapels, many decorated with
frescoes by Giotto.
Brunelleschi built the inner cloister, which has a monument
to Florence Nightingale.
It includes a relief of the Annunciation by Donatello.
Michelangelo, Galileo and Machiavelli are buried there, and it has a cenotaph
dedicated to Dante.
You may want to check that stuff out, too.
