San Miniato


Another little day excursion that FSU takes their students on is a walk to San Miniato, a church that over looks Florence.  Nero, one of the professors, gives a little history lesson about Florence in general and the church.  The church is one of the oldest in Florence and has been said to be one of the prettiest. The fresco's in the church are magnificent and the inside it pretty nice too.  I don't know if it's the prettiest church ever because it is large, quite, cold, and somewhat dark, but I can appreciate the amazing marble work and the beautiful ceilings.  There are still monks that live there and they chant before the mass on Sunday evening.  
In my opinion, the view of Florence is the best part.
