Facade of Santo Spirito

Brunelleschi’s blend of architecture comes alive when entering the church. The interior is

complemented with hypnotically geometry with rhythmic in columns, squares and circles, 

Brunelleschi’s has an obsession with order, geometry, and symmetry that form this beautiful

church .  Proportions nothing but perfect bringing everything together masterfully. 

The dark Pietra Serena Highlights the dark edges to contrast the light stucco creating a 

very soothing pallet.
