Interested in many things:
1. It was here that Galileo renounced his views.
2. Statue of Christ by Michelangelo (later shod and covered with a loincloth by church zealots).
3. The tomb of Catherine of Siena (albeit without a head, which was given to her homeland. It is strange why she was not buried in the church of Catherine of Siena, located nearby).
4. The tomb of Fra Beato Angelico, a wonderful Renaissance artist, beatified by the Vatican, the heavenly patron of all artists.
5. Chapel of Carafa with frescoes by Lippi.
and many more beautiful things.
