Santa Croce, rebuilt on the Franciscan request in 1294 by Arnolfo di Cambio, is the burial place for the ideal and good in Florence. Michelangelo is buried in Santa Croce, as are Rossini, Machiavelli, and the Pisan-born Galileo Galilei, who was attempted by the Inquisition and was not permitted a Christian entombment until 1737, 95 years after his passing. There are huge creative riches in Santa Croce; frescoes (1380) by Gaddi in the Cappella Maggiore recount the narrative of the sacred cross, "Santa Clause croce". A surprising help, the Annunciation, in overlaid limestone by Donatello adorns the south nave divider. Try not to miss the remembrance to the nineteenth century dramatist Giovanni Battista Niccolini to one side of the passage said to be been the motivation for the Statue of Liberty. The congregation of Santa Croce was seriously hit by the surge of 1966; a tide plate shows how far up on the columns and dividers. The congregation outside is secured with a polychrome marble façade included 1863 and paid for by the English advocate, Sir Francis Sloane. It looks onto the Piazza Santa Croce, which is the site of the yearly soccer match in archaic ensemble, the Calcio Storico Fiorentino.
