Slide 5: Sagrestia Vecchia
San Lorenzo
Piazza San Lorenzo, Florence, Italy
The facade of this church was never finished, but the Brunelleschi interior is elegantly austere. Stand in the middle of the nave at the entrance, on the line that stretches to the high altar, and you ‘ll see what Brunelleschi achieved with the grid of inlaid marble in the pavement. Every architectural element in the church is placed to create a dramatic effect of single – point perspective. The Sagrestia Vecchia (Old Sacristy), decorated with stuccoes by Donatello, is attributed to Brunelleschi.
Slide 6: Giovanni di Bicci de’ Medici
Giovanni di Bicci de’ Medici, 1360 – 1429, founder of the success of the famous and powerful Medici dynasty of Florence; father of Cosimo de’ Medici (Pater Patriae), and great – grandfather of Lorenzo de Medici (the Magnificent). Giovanni was somewhat uninterested in politics, unless it pertained to him and /or his bank. Often, when his name was chosen to participate in the Florentine government (reggimento), he chose to pay his fine rather than serve, although he did serve one term as Gonfaloniere. Giovanni ran an early multi-national company, as the family bank, his main commercial interest, had branches throughout the northern Italian city – states and beyond. In 1410, Giovanni bet on the return of the papacy to Rome, and was correct. Rewarding Giovanni for his support, subsequent popes made use of de’ Medici banks. Giovanni was also rewarded with tax – farming contracts and the rights to many alum mines.

Slide 30: San Giovanni Crisostomo
CHURCH OF SAN GIOVANNI CRISOSTOMO – Sestiere of Canaregio, XV sec. –
Built between 1497 and 1504, San Giovanni Crisostomo is the last architecture work by Mauro Codussi who used here many elements used before in San Michele or in San Zaccaria.
The project by Codussi and all the paintings make this church one of the most important churches of the Venetian Renaissance: in the first chapel on the right handside is kept a painting with San Girolamo, San Cristoforo and Sant’Agostino, a mature work (1513) by Giovanni Bellini, that seems to speak with the other paintings on the main altar with San Giovanni Crisostomo and the Saints Giovanni Battista, Liberale, Maria Maddalena, Agnese and Caterina, painted between 1509 and 1511 by Sebastiano del Piombo, just before the artist left Venice to go to San Zaccaria, begun by Antonio Gambello and completed by Codussi
