Description
Florence is one of the most beautiful cities in Italy.The renaissance chapels of Florence are among the noblest witnesses to the city's great civic, religious and artistic history. Today they offer their visitors a kind of didacticism which is especially characteristic of Tuscan and Florentine art. Although many of them have suffered alterations and ill-judged interventions over the centuries, at least ten have survived in good condition, and may easily be visited in the churches or cloisters where the rich Florentine merchants and bankers had them built. Their decoration, carried out by the foremost artists of the period, allows us to glimpse that interweaving of devotion, power, business, culture and art which made 15th-century Florence one of the great center of Christendom.
