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.

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.

With the Ghiberti Pass, the first place you visit is the Santa Reparata crypt. Then you proceed back upstairs to visit the Duomo.

The cantorie, choir galleries, in the Museo. Once surmounted the doors of the sacristies in the cathedral. I think this one is by Donatello.
