One of several very important churches in Florence is Sta. Croce. Many famous persons are buried here,
and it is fascinating to pick up a brochure showing the locaitons of these graves and make a short tour around
the north and south sides to view where Michelangelo and other greats are interred.

Sta. Croce has been undergoing a major restoration over the past few years, and on my other Florence galleries
some of this work can be seen due with the scaffolding in place.
In this image, the altar and choir areas are covered with scaffolding,
as it was last year and the year previously. One day soon, it will all shine in pristine beauty again !
