We wondered into this market on Saturday as we were walking to our appointed destinations. It was a fruit, vegetable and handcrafted goods market. A change from the usual. Every where you go you see stalls with the same leather goods, shawls, pottery, t-shirts and other souvenirs. Tourist goods. I succumbed to one or two items.
Our first stop of the day was at San Marco church. It was a Dominican monastery. Fra Angelico was one of the brothers and his paintings and frescoes are everywhere. Another famous brother was Savonarola, the monk who brought down the Medicis, re-established the republic as a theocracy. His room with some artifacts are in the museum.
