  Aprosio & Co.
Via S. Spirito, 11
Beads: ancient ornamental elements for decorating the body. Beads: trinkets and artistic expression. For Ornella Aprosio, these considerations sparked the idea for her workshop, where she researches and works with crystal and glass beads for imaginative jewelry made entirely by hand and in limited series. The luminous annual collections of fashion accessories designed by Aprosio are presented each year in at previous showings in Paris.

  Santo Spirito Church
Piazza Santo Spirito, Firenze
The distinctive mixtilineal (XVIII century) façade of the church is the background to the live, picturesque piazza of the same name. The thirteenth century Augustinian church was radically remodeled by Brunelleschi. It was here, beginning in 1432 that he reached the apex of his artistic career: the large, luminous interior develops linearly in the sequence of a composition which runs from the nave to the transept without interruption. The three naves, as well as the lateral wings, are bounded by massive pietra serena columns with Corinthian capitals. The 38 niche chapels that run along the perimeter of the church are fitted mainly with altarpieces, often with their original frontals and even some statuary. Maso di Bianco painted the polyptych in Giotto’s style, Filippino Lippi painted the Virgin and Child with Saints (which is known as the Nerli altarpiece), and Andrea del Sansovino executed the altar of the Blessed Sacrament. Caccini’s early seventeenth century high altar with the marble baldachin enclosure is a controversial piece because it breaks the overall architecture purity of the interior. From the left nave we enter the sacristy by Giuliano da Sangallo. The wooden crucifix, believed to be a work of the young Michelangelo, was recently moved back here to its original site from Casa Buonarroti.
