Florence - Piazza del Duomo
The Piazza del Duomo, the square around the cathedral, is one of the most important sites in European art, with the cathedral, Giotto's Campanile and the Baptistery. The cathedral square, adjoined on the west by the Piazza San Giovanni with the Archbishop's Palace, is overlooked by several imposing buildings, including the Loggia del Bigallo, the Palazzo della Misericordia, the Palazzo dei Canonici, the Palazzo Guadagni, the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo and the Palazzo Niccolini.

Palazzo Nonfinito (Museum of Mankind)
The Palazzo Nonfinito is, as its name implies, unfinished, a fact belied by its exterior. Alessandro Strozzi commissioned the architect Bernardo Buontalenti to build a new town house for his family near the Palazzo Pazzi. Neither Buontalenti nor his successors, however, were able to complete the large building with the beautiful inner courtyard.
Since 1869 the Palazzo has housed the Museo Nazionale di Antropologia ed Etnologia (Museum of Mankind) with anthropological and ethnological collections from all over the world.
