The tour will start in S. Lorenzo Square, where you will learn about the project of the church designed by the Renaissance genius Brunelleschi and the 2 chapels that we will be visiting: - The New Sacristy was designed by Michelangelo with 7 sculptures by him including the Day & Night and Down & Dusk. - The Prices Chapel which hosts the graves of the 6 grand dukes and the members of the family. - The Lorraine Habsburg Crypt recently opened with the view of the grave of Cosimo The Elder. We will enter the Museum of the Medici Chapels and visit the New Sacristy designed by Michelangelo with the beautiful sculptures of the Day and Night and the Dawn and Dusk and the unfinished Virgin Mary and the child over the grave of Lawrence the Magnificent the great patron of art. The magnificent Chapel of the Prices completely covered with a type of mosaic technique invented in Florence called Commesso Fiorentino (stone painting) which will leave you speachless. The tour will end at the book shop.
We will meet in Piazza S. Lorenzo by the statue of Giovanni delle Bande Nere (Medici) and them walk behind the church to enter the Medici Chapels where the tour will end.
