	Church and Museum of Santa Croce Florence Italy
		Santa Croce is planned as an Egyptian cross, with an open timber roof; there are many tomb slabs set into the pavement.
		It is significant that Santa Croce, which was to become the resting-place of so many great Italians, has the first truly renaissance funerary monument: the tomb of Leonardo Bruni, Chancellor of the Republic, sculpted by Bernardo Rossellino (1444).
		Ugo Foscolo, who died in England, was reburied here in 1871; in his celebrated Sepolcri he had written of the Santa Croce tombs as ‘urns of the strong, that kindle strong souls to great deeds’, and had thereby given rise to the secular view of the basilica as a Pantheon of civic memories.

	Florence Art Guide - Piazza Santa Croce
		The huge rectangular space of Piazza Santa Croce, created in front of the Franciscan Basilica, is the result of a 13th-14th century urban project whose mediaeval origins can still be clearly seen in many of the buildings surrounding its perimeter.
		This palace was built by Giulio Parigi, an architect who worked on the Pitti Palace for the Medici family, and who repeated the mediaeval leitmotiv of the projecting consoles that can be seen on the buildings beside it, between the ground and the first floors.
		Santa Croce has traditionally always been used for important civic and religious events because it is large enough to contain crowds of people.

		The dazzling chapels at the east end of Santa Croce are a compendium of Florentine fourteenth-century art, showing the extent of Giotto's influence and the full diversity of his followers.
		The two immediately to the right of the chancel are entirely covered with frescoes by Giotto: beside the chancel is the Cappella Bardi, featuring scenes from the life of St Francis, while next to it is the Cappella Peruzzi with a cycle on the lives of St John the Baptist and John the Evangelist.
