Our tickets to Brancacci Chapel included admission to the Salvatore Romano Foundation, adjacent to the Spiritu Sanctu church. We had never heard of the Romano Foundation, but it was on the way, and free, and we were curious and in need of some amusement and.... Romano was an antiques dealer; how he came by this hall, not far from ground zero Florence, must be an interesting story. Also the connection with Santa Maria del Carmine. In any case, there were a number of 12th and later century items well worth a look.
