Now why on earth would I choose to include this photo, you ask?

See the little plaque at the top of the window display?

That marks the depth of the Arno River that flooded the City of Florence in 1966

This store is across the piazza / square from the Santa Croce.

The flood damaged the church severely 

It has taken a number of decades to repair

Due to instability issues in 2017
 (church was originally built on a reclaimed swamp)

The church was closed for "a multi year restoration program"

Thankfully was re opened in the Spring of 2019
