Mino also has here a monument to Bernardo Giugni, a famous gonfalonier in the time of Cosimo de' Medici, marked by the same distinction, but not quite so memorable.

The Ugo is his masterpiece.
The carved wooden ceiling, which is a very wonderful piece of work and of the deepest and most glorious hue, should not be forgotten; but nothing is easier than to overlook ceilings.
The cloisters are small, but they atone for that--if it is a fault--by having a loggia.

From the loggia the top of the noble tower of the Palazzo Vecchio is seen to perfection.

Upon the upper walls is a series of frescoes illustrating the life of S.Benedict which must have been very gay and spirited once but are now faded.
The Badia may be said to be the heart of the Dante quarter.

Dante must often have been in the church before it was restored as we now see it, and a quotation from the "Divine Comedy" is on its facade.
