Brunelleschi designed the central nave, with the two collateral naves on either side lined by small chapels, and the old sacristy. The first stage of the project was the Old Sacristy, built between 1419 and 1429. It contains the tomb of Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici and his wife, beneath a central dome, simply decorated. The chapel is a cube of ...
