Tired to walk in Livorno, we took a train for a day trip to Florence. Here is the “Basilica of Santa Maria Novella”, just outside the main railway station bearing the same name.
The first courtyard of “Palazzo Vecchio”, with a porphyry fountain by Battista del Tadda. On the left “Samson and Philistine”, a work by Pierino da Vinci.
The “Basilica di Santa Croce” (Basilica of the Holy Cross) is the burial place of some of the most illustrious Italians: Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli, Foscolo and Rossini rest inside this church. On the left a statue of Dante Alighieri by Enrico Pazzi.
Giotto's Campanile in “Piazza del Duomo” is the free-standing bell tower of the “Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore” (Basilica of Saint Mary of the Flower), the cathedral church of Florence.
The central part of the “Ponte Vecchio” (Old Bridge).More Walks
