the tombs of many celebrated Florentines such as Michelangelo,
Galileo, Ghiberti and Machiavelli. The Gothic interior is graced by
the radiant frescoes of Giotto and his pupil Taddeo Gaddi, and
integrated into the cloister next to the church is Brunelleschi's

the church he declared himself 'drunk with beauty'.
