 Santo Spirito
The most complete
monuments of the early Renaissance in Florence are two
churches by Brunelleschi; San Lorenzo, near the Duomo
and Santo Spirito, on the other side of the river, in
the populated district of San Frediano.
The true beauty of Santo Spirito resides,
however, in its interior, remarkable for its harmonious
proportions and use of colours.
 The church has 38 side altars, decorated
with 15th and 16th century Renaissance paintings and
sculptures, among them works by Ghirlandaio, Fillippino
Lippi and Orcagna.
