After the church of Santa Maria Novella, we walked to Santa Croce and then to the Pazzi Chapel. The problem with a big touring day is that you seldom really soak in all of the details. The reason I stress the pre-trip study is so that the average traveler can recognize and appreciate what they are walking into, by, or near. You really have to tune in. When we were in the church of Santa Croce, it was sad to have a loudspeaker warn you about possible pickpockets. It must have happened enough to make them ruin the atmosphere. This is one of those "Kenneth Clark" shots from his famous Civilization series.
