The Santa Reparata crypt was discovered in 1966. The Duomo was built on its site. This was our favorite part of the Duomo Complex. It is fascinating and so interesting.

Everywhere we went we saw stores selling all kinds of Pinocchio merchandise. We were wondering why. Duh!!! I had completely forgotten that the Italian author of Pinocchio is from Florence, and the story takes place in Tuscany. So we stopped into this store, chatted with the friendly owner, and I purchased Pinocchio pens for our grandchildren.
