checked into our hotel with it's fantastic window view... cheap and so charming... santa maria nuevo was another renaisance church in the pink, green, white, cool to have all the churches quite similar in style together to begin comparing them on their own terms - this one has a more dynamic facade, more balenced massing etc. this was the earliest intact facade in the city, by Alberti. Inside was a drawing listed in our history book as the beginning of perspective in painting, quite exciting, and a gioccameti floating cross, gilded and graphic, and quite more beautiful floating at the beginning of the nave then above the altar as i had imagined.
wander wander lost.... to the david!
