The 19th took us to Santa Croce, a lovely Gothic church with beautiful Cloisters and filled with the tombs of extraordinary men, including Galileo, Michelangelo (with Pauline), and the one I’m posing in front of . . . Machiavelli. There’s also a Cimabue Christ on the Cross damaged by the terrible floods of 1966.
Then, while Pauline went for a walk I went over the Ponte Vecchio to the Pitti Palace (the home of the later Medici rulers) and some of its many museums.
In the evening we took a walk to the Piazza della Signoria and Ponte Vecchio.
