San Croce Field Trip

Wednesday we had another field trip to the San Croce Church. This is a church in Florence that hold many tombs of some very famous people such as Dante, Donatello, and Michelangelo. The tombs were all very beautiful. The flood from many years ago destroyed a lot in this church so when we were there they had people working to repair and restore a lot that had gotten destroyed. My three favorite tombs were Beata Umilana de'Cerchi, A Gino Capponi, ad A G.B. Niccolini. They were all very large and amazing. Beata Umilana was worshipped in her living day for her virtures o modesty, charity, obidence and many miracles. The tomb of Niccolini resembled the Statue of Liberty in New York but was more feminine. I thought this church was really interesting but kinda creepy too having all those tombs there.
