Florence Episode 09 Around San Lorenzo
Staying near San Lorenzo church, first a visit to the Laurentian Library, with its Michelangelo staircase and reading room, plus a magnificent collection of ancient books and manuscripts. Next, we take in the nearby Medici Chapel, where over 50 family members are buried, some of them in the splendidly over-decorated mausoleuim on the upper floor. And to finish, a biography of perhaps the best-known Medici of them all, Lorenzo il Magnifico.
