Such was the Countess of Albany, to whom human affection was so necessary.

She herself is buried close by, in the chapel of the Castellani.
Mrs.Piozzi, in her "Glimpses of Italian Society," mentions seeing in Florence in 1785 the unhappy Pretender.

Though old and sickly, he went much into society, sported the English arms and livery, and wore the garter.
Other tombs in the right aisle are those of Machiavelli, the statesman and author of "The Prince," and Rossini, the composer of "William Tell," who died in Paris in 1868, but was brought here for burial.

These tombs are modern and of no artistic value, but there is near them a fine fifteenth-century example in the monument by Bernardo Rossellino to another statesman and author, Leonardo Bruni, known as Aretino, who wrote the lives of Dante and Petrarch and a Latin history of Florence, a copy of which was placed on his heart at his funeral.

This tomb is considered to be Rossellino's masterpiece; but there is one opposite by another hand which dwarfs it.
There is also a work of sculpture near it, in the same wall, which draws away the eyes--Donatello's "Annunciation".
