A private tour of Florence's landmark basilicas and piazzas, taking in real masterworks inside Santa Maria Novella, San Lorenzo, and Santa Croce. Explore masterpieces like Giotto's Crucifix in Santa Maria Novella, Brunelleschi's Old Sacristy in San Lorenzo, and Michelangelo's tomb in Santa Croce, from the Piazza del Duomo to the Piazza della Signoria.
Santa Maria Novella took nearly two centuries to complete — construction began in 1290, but the church wasn't consecrated until 1420, and its famous white-and-green marble facade is really two different projects stitched together: the lower, Romanesque-style half went up starting in 1350, while the upper section wasn't finished until 1470, by Leon Battista Alberti. Inside hangs Giotto's painted Crucifix, likely completed around 1288-1289, credited with changing how Christ's body was depicted on the cross for the following two centuries.
At San Lorenzo, the Old Sacristy was designed by Brunelleschi in 1419 (financed by Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici) and finished by 1429, with sculptural decoration by Donatello — historians generally consider it the first fully Renaissance building ever built, predating even Brunelleschi's far more famous cathedral dome.
Santa Croce closes the day with Michelangelo's tomb. He died in Rome in 1564 at age 88, and Duke Cosimo I wanted his body back in Florence badly enough that his nephew reportedly had it smuggled out of Rome hidden inside a bale of hay. The resulting monument was designed by his friend and biographer Giorgio Vasari — the same architect behind the Uffizi and the Vasari Corridor across town.
