An informational sign, likely displayed within a historical building in Florence, Italy, details the Peruzzi Chapel. The sign, protected by a plastic covering, is mounted against a textured, light brown stone wall. The main subject of the sign is a diagram illustrating the interior layout of the Peruzzi Chapel, highlighting its frescoes and other artistic elements. The frescoes, attributed to Giotto di Bondone and his workshop (circa 1310-1320), depict scenes from the lives of Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Evangelist. On the left wall, the frescoes include the Annunciation to Zechariah, the Birth of Saint John the Baptist (where Zechariah writes the child's name), and Herod's Banquet, where Salome receives the head of Saint John the Baptist. The right wall displays scenes from the life of Saint John the Evangelist, specifically his apocalyptic vision on the island of Patmos, his resuscitation of Drusiana, and his death and ascension. Other notable artworks mentioned include an altar painting by Bernardo Daddi (Madonna with Child between Saint John the Evangelist and a holy bishop, circa 1330), a stained-glass window by Jacopo del Casentino and Pacino di Bonaguida, and a funerary monument by Odoardo Fantacchiotti for Vincenzo Peruzzi. The sign features text in Italian and provides an English translation for "Fresco cycle of the Peruzzi Chapel." It includes two QR codes, one labeled "ITA" and the other "ENG," suggesting digital access to information in both languages. Logos for "Opera di Santa Croce" and "Glo.It.Alia" are visible, alongside "Direzione Generale Musei," indicating the official nature of the information. The sign states "Giotto 1315 ca." at the bottom.
