5Take a Break

Join locals for a quick tasty trattoria lunch at Il Giova.

For an aperitivo, head to one of the many bars on Via de’ Benci.

Frescoed Chapels

Giotto’s murals feature John the Baptist in the Cappella Peruzzi (1310–20), while the Cappella Bardi (1320-28) features scenes from the life of St Francis. Giotto’s assistant and loyal pupil, Taddeo Gaddi, frescoed Cappella Maggiore and Cappella Baroncelli (1328–38).

Sagrestia

From the transept chapels, a doorway designed by Michelozzo leads into a corridor, off which is the enchanting 14th-century Sacristy with Taddeo Gaddi’s fresco of the Crucifixion. The large painted wooden cross (c 1288) by Cimabue was one of many artworks to be damaged in the 1966 floods which inundated Santa Croce in more than 4m of water.
