SANTA CROCE BASILICA: in the homonymous square, it is the largest Franciscan church in the world and a prestigious symbol of Florence. It was the place of the greatest artists, theologians, religious, men of letters, humanists and politicians who determined the identity of the city. The basilica is considered the Pantheon of the illustrious Italians: it holds countless graves including that of Michelangelo Buonarroti, Galileo Galilei, Ugo Foscolo and Gioacchino Rossi (remember: Dante Alighieri's tomb is in Ravenna, Emila Romagna, the city where he died in 1321).
