Constructed around 1294, the Basilica di Santa Croce has sixteen chapels, each of which was ornately decorated. Amongst those who contributed to the splendour of this church was the artist Giotto di Bondone, whose frescos can be seen throughout and include the 14th century Cappella Bardi Frescos. The architect and designer of the famous duomo of Florence Cathedral, Filippo Brunelleschi, also left his mark on this site in the form of the domed chapel, Cappella de Pazzi. The Florentines whose tombs lie within the Basilica di Santa Croce are a mix of prominent artists and philosophers such as the Michelangelo, who was known as a painter and sculptor and also as an engineer and architect. Philosopher and writer Niccolò Machiavelli, whose works included The Prince and The Art of War, is also buried here as is the astronomer and philosopher, Galileo Galilei. The Basilica di Santa Croce is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Historic Florence. Guided tours are available as are audio guides (summer only).

3 Italy Trip - Day 01 Name: Palazzo Vecchio Address: Palazzo Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, Florence, Italy Alternative Name: Palazzo della Signoria Contact Details: Entry Information: Palazzo Vecchio is open daily. Weekdays except Thursdays, 9am-7pm, Thursdays and weekends, 9am-2pm. Last admission 1 hour before closing. Closed on 1 January, Easter Day and 25 December. Full admission 6.00 Euros, 4.50 reduced. Family/group concessions available. Site Direction: Palazzo Vecchio is located in Piazza della Signoria, Florence, Italy. Buses C1 and C2 stop nearby. Florence has regional train links from Firenze SMN station and from Firenze CM (both around 2km from the site). From Roma TE station to Florence SMN, the journey takes around 1.5 hours. Pisa is around 100km to the west. Description Palazzo Vecchio, translated as Old Palace and also known as Palazzo della Signoria, in Florence in Tuscany is an iconic fourteenth century palace. Completed in 1322, it served as the seat of the city s governing body, a function it still fulfils today. In 1540, Palazzo Vecchio underwent a renovation campaign under the remit of Duke Cosimo I, who employed the artist Vasari to add a series of frescos depicting important Florentine events. Many of these frescos can be seen at Palazzo Vecchio, notably in the Salone del Cinquecento, which also contains a beautiful statue by Michelangelo entitled Victory. Palazzo Vecchio played a central role in Florence s civil history, with its bell being the main method of communicating important events, including meetings and any dangerous elements such as fires or possible attacks. Housing a stunning collection of artwork and sculptures by some of Italy s most celebrated artists such as Donatello, Bronzino and Michelangelo, Palazzo Vecchio is a fascinating and beautiful site. It also has an interesting sixteenth century map of the world in its Room of Maps.
4 Palazzo Vecchio s location in Piazza della Signoria is also of interest, not only because of the statues and fountains, such as the sixteenth century Fontana do Nettuno, but also as this was the site of the execution of Girolamo Savonarola. Savonarola was a Dominican priest and a leader of Florence who was excommunicated by Pope Alexander VI and burnt at the stake in For children, Palazzo Vecchio has a series of secret rooms to explore, although note that this must be booked in advance. Guided tours are available. It is also part of the UNESCO site of Historic Florence. Notes
5 Italy Trip - Day 01 Name: San Lorenzo Church Address: San Lorenzo Church, Piazza di San Lorenzo, Florence, Tuscany. Alternative Name: - Contact Details: Entry Information: Each part of San Lorenzo Church has different opening hours. The church itself is generally open 10am-5pm daily except Sundays. Call ahead or ask the local tourist office for opening times. Closed on public holidays. Entry is also different for each part of the site (generally 2.50). Site Direction: San Lorenzo Church is located in Florence, Italy. Buses 7, 10, 11, 25, 31, 32 and C1 go to the site. It is also half a mile east of Florence SMN Train Station, with regular lines to and from Rome. Description San Lorenzo Church in Florence, Italy was originally consecrated in 393 AD. In 1419, the Medici family commissioned Filippo Brunelleschi to rebuild it and it became the parish church of the family. Today, San Lorenzo Church is a vast ornate structure lined with chapels. The outside of the church however belies its riches, being seemingly bare. It was planned for a façade to be built and Michelangelo even submitted plans, but they were never implemented. Having said this, the dome of San Lorenzo Church is huge, impressive and not dissimilar to the Duomo of Florence. Inside, San Lorenzo Church is brimming with elaborate sculptures from the likes of Donatello and architectural features by Michelangelo, such as the Biblioteca Staircase. Nevertheless, San Lorenzo Church manages to remain quite light and uncluttered. Perhaps the most famous aspect of San Lorenzo Church is the Cappelle Medicee the Medici Chapels. These contain the Cappella del Principi, the mausoleum of the Medici family.

Description Palazzo Pitti, translated as the Pitti Palace, is an incredibly grand building in Florence, Italy originally built in 1457 for Luca Pitti. Determined not to be outdone by the ruling Medici family, Pitti, who was an affluent banker, wanted to ensure that his home was as large and impressive as possible. The result was the Palazzo Pitti. Unfortunately for Pitti s heirs, the task of trying to surpass the Medici proved too dear and in 1549 they were eventually left with no option but to sell Palazzo Pitti to none other than the Medici themselves. It went on to become not only the prime residence of the Medici, but also that of every ruling Florentine family thereon. Today, Palazzo Pitti houses a number of museums including the ornately frescoed seventeenth century Royal Apartments, the Porcelain Museum, Silver Museum and Museum of Modern Art. However the main feature of Palazzo Pitti is the Palatine Gallery. This famous art museum contains works by many of the world s most famous artists, such as Raphael and Caravaggio. Palazzo Pitti forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Historic Florence. This site also features as one of our Top 10 Tourist Attractions in Italy.

Cosimo I was both the Duke of Florence and, from 1569, the Grand Duke of Tuscany. He was the first ever holder of this latter title. The Uffizi was originally built from 1560 to 1580 to house the offices hence the name of Florence s administration and judicial sectors. Initially designed and built by Giorgio Vasari, the Uffizi was continued by Alfonso Parigi and Bernardo Buontalenti. This occurred when Vasari, and also Cosimo I, died in Cosimo I s successor was his son, Francesco I, who first decided to use the Uffizi as an art gallery, an endeavour further undertaken by Francesco I s brother and successor Ferdinando I and continued today. The collections now held at the Uffizi include artwork from the gothic and renaissance eras by some of the world s most prominent artists such as Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Titian, Carravagio and Giotto.
