These are all interior shots from Ognissanti (All Saints church). The same church in which Botticelli is buried. This was the first Church we went inside. Very very beautiful altars and vaulted ceilings in the chapels. The church nave features a fresco in which linear perspective tricks the eye very convincingly into thinking the ceiling is receding into space. Very cool. Florence (obviously) is the perfect place for people who are both art and history nerds.
