DAY 3- I must confess, so much of the trip is a blurred memory! I'm reviewing both my photographs and the previously mentioned Great Courses
Great Artists of the Italian Renaissance in an effort to slow down the swirl of confused memories. On day 3, Wednesday Nov 5, we walked with Prof Carniani to Cenacolo di Santa Apollonia to admire
The Last Supper by
Andrea del Castagno,
1421- 1457, and then to the church of
Santissima Annunzia to admire the masterpieces of mannerism. We then transferred by minibus to
Santa Croce where we admired this principal Franciscan church of Florence with its burial place for so many of the most famous Italians and later
the onsite lecture by Prof Carniani on "Florence and its historic handicraft tradition." After lunch at Fanisterrae restaurant we visited the Scuola del Cuoio- Leather Factory School.
The 1966 flood and earlier floods which damaged or destroyed so much-
Leonardo di Vinci and others' famous Italian tombs-
Michelangelo's-
Galileo's
Machiavelli's -
I have no pictures of the leather factory, but here are some photographs mostly from our Hotel and its roof garden-
