The octagonal Tribune Room of the Uffizi from the 1500s housed the Medici family's most precious
paintings and sculptures. The room re-opened two years ago. It is a feast for the eyes.
Here is an example of the plain walls and decorated marble floors of the Duomo,
which I mentioned yesterday.
which I mentioned yesterday.
This is the lovely entrance of the Farmaceutica Santa Maria Novella, one of the oldest
pharmacies in the world. It was established by Dominican brothers in 1221.
They sell soaps and perfumes and the scent is just shy of heaven.

I'm sure you did well to catch the floors without masses of tourist feet. They're very beautiful, especially the top one. I imagine every bit of stone is valuable.
