Lonely Planet review for Cappella dei Magi

Also known as Capella di Benozzo, this tiny chapel flaunts a series of wonderfully detailed serene frescoes (1459) by Benozzo Gozzoli, a pupil of Fra Angelico. The ostensible theme of Journey of the Magi is but a slender pretext for portraying members of the Medici clan in their best light; try to spy Lorenzo il Magnifico, Cosimo il Vecchio and the artist’s self-portrait in the crowd. Only eight visitors are allowed in at a time for a maximum of just seven minutes; reserve your slot in advance at the palace ticket desk.
