Florentine Walk

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.
