19 Lay not up for
yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for
yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break
through nor steal:21 For
where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 6.19-21 Dante Alighieri, Girolamo Savonarola,
Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Giorgio La Pira all saw
Florence as potentially a new Jerusalem. It's not money,
but knowledge, it's the Seven Acts of Mercy, that made
her beautiful.
