It is the burial place of some of the most illustrious Italians, such as Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli, Foscolo, Gentile and Rossini, thus it is known also as the Temple of the Italian Glories (Tempio dell'Itale Glorie).

Santa Croce Florence is also known as the Temple of the Italian Glories to honor the brilliant native sons who are buried here.
Among these great men and women are Michelangelo, Marconi, inventor of the radio-telegraph; the composer Gioacchino Rossini ; Eugenio Barsanti, co-inventor of the internal combustion engine; astronomer Galileo, whose reputed experiments of dropping objects off the Leaning Tower of Pisa are legendary; Leon Battista Alberti, Vittorio Alfieri, and many others.
These Italian luminaries have made contributions to the world in the fields of art, architecture, science, technology, astrology, music, philosophy, and literature.

In 1560, the choir screen was removed and the interior rebuilt by Giorgio Vasari, who damaged the church's decoration in the process.
The Basilica di Santa Croce is also one of the finest museums in Italy, with art and architecture rivaling that in the Uffizi Gallery.

Donatello-Crucifixion "Below the screen in the same church, he made a wooden crucifix and asked his close friend, Filippo Brunelleschi, for his opinion. Filippo answered that it seemed to him that Donatello had put on the cross the body of a peasant, not the body of Jesus Christ. Donatello retorted: 'You get some wood and try to make one yourself.' Filippo returned home and started work on a crucifix."

The Basilica di Santa Croce is also one of the finest museums in Italy. In the refectory in the convent portion of the great church is an actual museum, the Museo dell'Opera di Santa Croce that was founded primarily as a memorial to those who died in the 1966 River Arno flooding.
A damaged work is the great Crucifix of Cimabue. It was the major work of art lost in the flood in Florence in 1966. Much of the paint from the body and face washed away.
The Museo dell'Opera di Santa Croce is housed mainly in the refectory, also off the cloister.
For the end wall of their refectory the Franciscans commissioned Taddeo Gaddi to paint a Last Supper, an appropriate subject for the friars` dining hall. Above the last Supper Gaddi painted a Tree of Life, a devotional subject derived from the writings of the Franciscan St Bonaventure.
