This is a great piazza near the river in Florence. From what it seamed, it is not as well known as many of the others. There are many shops and restaurants around the square, with street performers doing a variety of things (my favorite was the music).
The best part about the piazza was the beasilica, the largest Franciscan church in the world. It has multiple chapels within it which are eloquently decorated. It houses art and It is the burial place of Michelangelo Buonarroti, Niccolò Machiavelli, Enrico Fermi, Galileo Galilei, Ugo Foscolo, Guglielmo Marconi, Luigi Cherubini, Leon Battista Alberti, Vittorio Alfieri, Gioacchino Rossini, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Lorenzo Bartolini, Pier Antonio Micheli, Bartolomeo Cristofori, Giovanni Gentile - it was incredible to visit. If you are in the piazza, visit the beasilica..you will not be disappointed!
