The parish church of the Pazzi family was one of the largest churches in Christendom, and second only in Florence to the Cathedral of Santa Maria itself. Some of the greatest Florentine architects, including Brunelleschi, designed chapels and cloisters for this sprawling holy complex. It quickly became a mausoleum for the greatest citizens of Florence - among them, Dante, Alberti, Michelangelo, Machiavelli and Galileo.
