The titular church of the Medici family, San Lorenzo is regarded by many as the quintessential Renaissance church. The rebuilding of the old Romanesque church of San Lorenzo, originally consecrated by St Ambrose in the 4th century, was largely carried out in the 15th century, with additions in the 16th and 17th. |
