Orsanmichele

Synopsis
Through a miraculous image of the Madonna, Florence’s grain market and granary became one of the most important and wealthy shrines in the city. Converted into an oratory, it was embellished with a superb marble tabernacle by Andrea Orcagna. Unattached to any monastic order, this unusual church was adopted by the powerful craft guilds that controlled the government.

Notes
NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
