The sacristy dome of the basilica of Santo Spirito will undergo restoration in the New Year.

 

 

The City of Florence has earmarked 350,000 euro for the project after cracks in the roof and walls were detected during a recent laser survey. Work on the basilica which houses a wooden crucifix by Michelangelo, is scheduled to begin in Spring 2016.
