This morning we’ll visit the monastery of San Marco to delight in the pure and celestial art of Fra Angelico. We’ll explore monk’s cells with simple yet powerful images to aid in contemplation and meditation. We will also compare two large frescos of the Last Supper that inspired Leonardo to create his famous depiction. We’ll lunch in the gourmet food court of Florence’s Central Market, where you can watch chefs and bakers creating Italian delicacies. Then spend a couple hours shopping for quality gifts and souvenirs from nearby boutique shops and street vendors. Early this evening we will catch a high-speed train to Rome.
