Roman Forum West - Temple of Castor and Pollux

"The Temple of Castor and Pollux (Italian: Tempio dei Dioscuri) is an ancient temple in the Roman Forum, Rome, central Italy. It was originally built in gratitude for victory at the Battle of Lake Regillus (495 BC). Castor and Pollux (Greek Polydeuces) were the Dioscuri, the "twins" of Gemini, the twin sons of Zeus (Jupiter) and Leda. Their cult came to Rome from Greece via Magna Graecia and the Greek culture of Southern Italy"

The Basilica di Santa Croce in Florence, Italy is the largest Franciscan church in the world. It is known for its chapels decorated with frescoes by Giotto and his students as well as its tombs and cenotaphs. Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli and Rossini are buried there. It was consecrated in 1442 and remodeled over the years.

Galileo was tried by the Inquisition as a result of his writings about heliocentrism. He was forced to recant his views, and spent the remainder of his life under house arrest. Nevertheless, he was buried in Santa Croce.
