Window Shopping at Piazza Santa Croce
Piazza Santa Croce so called the museum of the "Opera di Santa Croce" is a famous destination in Florence . The huge rectangular space of Piazza Santa Croce, created in front of the Franciscan Basilica,can still be clearly seen in many of the buildings surrounding its perimeter. However the two most famous palaces in the square actually date from a later period: Palazzo Cocchi-Serristori, which is an original adaptation of a 14th century house carried out by Baccio towards the end of the 15th century (opposite the church), and Palazzo dell'Antella, which previously belonged to the Cerchi family (civic number 21-23), the leaders of the "White" Guelph party ( Source: A Short Walk in Florence by Gloria Chiarini).
This empty space is a place for enterpreaneur to sell the surveniors, shirts, jackets, chocolates, etc when there is no events scheduled at this space. So today, we spent the whole morning shopped at this wonderful space. The first word out from my mouth was " This is like pasar malam". Well, people are selling the foods, cheese everwhere on the street. So, this panorama is exactly like " Pasar Malam".
