Buon Giorno!
I am returning to Florence for 2 weeks, including Easter, this March 2018. On my last visit (2014) I visited Medici homes/libraries etc. and in one there is a small chapel. The background is all black and painted with nature in vibrant colors... birds, fruits, vines. I bought a cup at the Museo Gift Shop to remind me of this experience and now I can't remember which building this chapel is in.
The cup says Museo Opificio. When I look at the Museo Opificio the chapel painting looks like intarsia in another medium?
So I'm hoping you can direct me to the building. And please add anything I might read about this chapel.
Thank you so much for your help.
