It is a spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bath apartment, furnished with antiques, including a beautiful 1826 John Broadwood fortepiano, and overlooking the church and the rectory garden. It is fully equipped with linens for both bed and bath, along with kitchen supplies.

Off- street parking within the grounds of the church for one car.

The animals presented in the exhibition "Dinosaurs in the Flesh" are the fruit of modern and accurate anatomical and ecological research, united with the incomparable talents of the best Italian artists in the field, those with an international reputation. The largest-sized animals, amongst which several well-known protagonists in fantasies, and not just childhood ones, like Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus, and Gallimimus, will be seen in one of the world's oldest botanical gardens, against a background of vegetation to suggest their original habitat. Others, like Glyptodon and Scipionyx, can be found amongst the fossil skeletons of the leading national paleontological collection, itself an important record of the role Florence has played in the history of science.
