		Andrea de' Pazzi was also the patron for Brunelleschi's chapter house for the Franciscan community at Florence's Santa Croce church, often known as the Pazzi Chapel.
		A member of the Pazzi family was accorded the privilege of striking a light from this stone on Holy Saturday when all fires in the city were extinguished, from which light the altar light of the Duomo would be annually rekindled, and from it all the hearth fires of Florence.
		As a reward, Sixtus granted the Pazzi a monopoly at the alum mines at Tolfa— alum being an essential mordant in dyeing in the textile trade that was central to the Florentine economy— and he assigned to the Pazzi bank lucrative rights to manage Papal revenues.

		The Medici Chapels form part of a monumental complex developed Down almost two centuries in close connection with the adjoining church of S. Lorenzo, considered the "official" church of the Medici, who chose it at the time they lived in the neighbouring palace of Via Larga (now MediciRiccardi Palace, see the related section).
		This Chapel is yet another grandiose and pompous mausoleum erected between 1604 and 1640 by the architect Matteo Nigetti to the desigus of Giovanni de' Medici, a member of the family who practised architecture in a semi-professional manner.
		The dome should have originally had an internal coating of lapis lazuli but was left incomplete at the end of the Medici period and frescoed in 1828 by Pietro Benvenuti with scenes of the New and Old Testament at command of the reigning Lorraine family.

		One of the jewels of Renaissance architecture is the Pazzi Chapel.
		The primary function of the structure was to serve as the tomb chapel for Giovanni di Bicci de Medici, the founder of the family fortunes, and, secondarily, to serve as the de Medici chapel.
		The logic, clarity, and harmonious dignity of the interior are enforced by the use of pietra serena in contrast to the white stucco of the walls, and the clear proportions of the interior relationships.

	Abstract, Nexus 2000, Mark Reynolds: A New Geometric Analysis of the Pazzi Chapel in Santa Croce, Florence
		Mark Reynolds reexamines the Pazzi Chapel in Florence, applying his geometrical skills to the task of uncovering the original design intentions, and revealing the extraordinary interrelatedness of the individual parts and the whole of the chapel.
		he Pazzi Chapel has long been the subject of speculation concerning its builder or builders, the limitations of its construction within the Santa Croce complex, and, most importantly, the geometric systems that are or are not present in the building.
		The Pazzi Chapel is based on the square and its three major divisions: rational whole numbers and fractional parts; square roots and irrationals; the special case of the irrational, the golden section 'family'.

		Next to the Sacristy, the Chapel of the Novitiate was built between 1435-1445 by Michelozzo and the exterior and the interior decorated by Andrea della Robbia and Mino da Fiesole, being commissioned by the Medici family.
		Andrea de’ Pazzi donated money towards the building of the Pazzi Chapel, in the first cloister, called the Cloister of the Dead which was designed and executed by Brunelleschi, who was also the creator of the second cloister of the Covent or the Greater Cloister with an exquisite door by Benedetto da Maiano.
		As a signature piece, the chapel is built with light gray pietra serena reflecting the Renaissance touch to highlight the artistically architectural lines that stand out against clear white plaster walls with the porch created by Guilano di Maiano.

		A much smaller Brunelleschi design, the 1430 Pazzi Chapel, in the grounds of the Florentine Church of Santa Croce, illustrates his masterful use of the elements of Roman architecture.
		The façade has a delicacy and lightness about it - slender Corinthian columns support an entablature that is regularly divided into squares, The central round arch of the porch frames the main door of the chapel, set deeply into the shadows, with the added plastic dimension of the recessed niches on each side.
		The interior of the chapel reflects the cool rationality of the exterior, sharing its proportions.

		Logical, light-filled, calm and yet exhilarating--almost, daringly, a space liveable-in--the Pazzi chapel is unprepared-for, except by Brunelleschi's own earlier buildings.

	Images of the Pazzi Chapel, Santa Croce, Florence, by Brunelleschi
		Andrea Pazzi commissioned Brunelleschi in 1429 to build a chapter house in the monastery courtyard of Santa Croce, although it appears that building didn't begin until about 1440-2.
		It was finished in 1469, more than two decades after Brunelleschi's death, and was completed by Michelozzo and Guiliano da Maiano (1432-90), who may have added the loggia across the front of the chapel.
		This portico does provide a continuation with the cloister porches, seen both to the right and left of the chapel.

		In comparison to the sacristies of the Florentine Gothic basilicas, which were generally imposing (S. Croce, S. Maria Novella), the 'Old Sacristy' of S. Lorenzo (1422-28), a Medici family chapel, was conceived of by Brunelleschi as a rather small square space (m.
		The volume of the chapel stands next to the mass of Arnolfo's church as a structure which has no need of size to affirm itself as a perfect finished spatial model in its geometrically pure essentiality and regularity.
		The plan is basically the same as in the Old Sacristy, but more articulated: the square of the larger domed space is enlarged at the sides by two short wings covered with barrel vaults.

		Beyond the chapel is a small passageway to a second and truly beautiful space, Cloister 2, or Chiostro Grande, designed by Rossellino.

		The "Double-Turn" gives you 30 minutes in the Chapel; you will probably have to spend 15 minutes in the film room prior to entering the Chapel, because it is also intended to adjust temperature and humidity before allowing entry into the Chapel.
		During the day and in the evening with the Cooperativa Giotto, the time in the Chapel is 15 minutes (after 15 minutes in the so-called CTA); in the evening under the "Double-Turn" formula, it is 30 minutes in the Chapel (after 15 minutes in the CTA).
