Lorenzo de Medici/Lorenzo The Magnificent | Ruler of Florence and Art Patron (#)
„In 1485, Girolamo Savonarola, a Dominican friar from the convent of San Marco began to harangue the Florentines with prophetic language of the Apocalypse, first from the pulpit of San Marco and then from the cathedral in Florence. Although it had been Lorenzo who brought Savonarola back from exile in Bologna, the friar soon accused his benefactor of ruining the state and squandering the wealth of the people. These accusations begain to undermine Lorenzo's support among the people of Florence.“

„Venice's water buses, vaporetti, are much cheaper than gondolas. Giovanna and a friend get tickets to St Mark's Square, Piazza San Marco.“

„This is the true Venice - the hundreds of little side alleys, side canals etc which most tourists are too afraid to go down. To get back, ask for 'San Marco' or 'Rialto' and you will return to the herd. I am also told that the streets are numbered out from San Marco, so if you want to find you way back keep chosing lower numbered streets.“

Amazon.com: Books: Fra Angelico: The San Marco Frescoes
„This is what an art book should be, page after page of splendid reproductions, including several full page details of Fra Angelico's greatest works. I was able to spend one day in San Marco, 2 years ago, I was alone most of the morning, but by noon had to contend with hoards of tourists pushing their way to get their 3 second glimsp of each fresco. Looking at these wonderful reproductions, I am reminded of the originals, I am able to see details I could not see peering through the entrances to the monks' rooms, and to recall many details had just forgotten. The text, devoted to the illuminating the art, included a wonderful explaination of composition and perspective.“
