Here is the Gothic Church of Santa Croce, started by Arnolfo di Cambio in 1294 and finished in 1442. Its neo-gothic belltower was added in 1842. The interior has frescoes by Giotto and his pupil Taddeo Gaddi. The church contains tombs of Michelangelo and Galileo. Machiavelli was buried here in 1527 and his funeral monument was erected in 1727 by Innocenzo Spinazzi.

If you think the Mini Cooper is small, you haven't seen anything.. This little guy was about the size of a go-cart. Three wheels and battery powered.. No thanks.
