The Florentine church was the house church of the famous Pazzi family, the antagonists of the Medici. The church houses, among other things, the tombs of Dante, Galileo and other celebrities. Inside, the sanctuary and the fantastic stained-glass windows tell the story of various biblical stories. You can also visit a small leather museum. Here is shown on weekdays how leather is embossed. Through the courtyard you leave the grounds. The courtyard was the location for the film Hannibal with Anthony Hopkins where in the evening a concert by candlelight took place.
Worth seeing and not as crowded as the cathedral.
