The Medici district: the amazing church of San Lorenzo designed by Brunelleschi for the Medici, the old Renaissance sacristy and the last work by Donatello.
And hidden behind the main altar, the mausoleum of the Medici family decorated with mosaics of semi precious hard stones and hosting my favorite works by Michelangelo: the night, day, dawn and dusk made for the tomb of his friend Lorenzo Medici.
And round the corner, the Medici palace, is where Michelangelo and Lorenzo lived together with many other geniuses and had their private chapel decorated with a beautiful procession of the Magi.
