A Sunny Day in Florence!

We had a wonderful trip to Florence today!  We started the visit with a stop at Piazzale Michelangelo, giving us a beautiful overlook of the city from a hill across the river.

We then made our way to San Marco, a Dominican church an convent.  There we looked at some gorgeous manuscripts and the beautiful work of Fra Angelico.

Next, we walked to La Chiesa di Santa Maria Novella, which famously houses Masaccio's Holy Trinity.  We then walked to the the Duomo, and had a couple of hours of free time to explore the city.  Students enjoyed seeing the city and finding some treasures in the leather market!  Afterwards, we took the bus back to Spoleto for a relaxing evening!
