Donatello's Wood Crucifix at Santa Croce: am I the only one who is fussy about this?

[SuzanneT]

Hi all,
I've decided to just alert folks that you can not actually view Donatello's crucifix at Santa Croce as it's blocked off for people praying, plus it's behind a black cage.

I hope some day they move it so we can view it.
Cheers,
Suzanne

Buongiorno,

I get you, sometimes you just want to see things up close and in detail.

Unfortunately, we have seen it time and time again, there are a few admirers who are not as cautious about their "admiration technique".

I have no secret suggestions on how to get close and personal with these pieces - however, if you really are interested in Donatello, maybe you can follow this itinerary and see some of his other works just a bit closer: https://www.visitflorence.com/itiner...-florence.html

Buon Viaggio,
