Lonely Planet review for Piazza di Santa Croce

Basilica di Santa Croce keeps haughty watch over this piazza, which was cleared in the Middle Ages to accommodate the overflow from the church. Once the scene of colourful jousts, festivals and the ferocious Calcio Storico, it was also Savonarola's preferred place to execute heretics. Jammed with tourists by day, it's much more pleasant in the evenings when reclaimed by the locals.
