The entire nave of Sta. Croce is paved with floor tombs of prominent and wealthy Florentines from past centuries.
Many of the markers as shown here, are modern restorations of some of the tombs that have been worn down
by centuries of footsteps.
Many of these tomb markers have family crests in the center, as shown in this image.
The information about the deceased is usually in Latin, and with dates in Roman numerals.
