The Cappelle Medicee include the Cappella dei Principi, begun by Matteo Nigetti on a plan by Don Giovanni de' Medici, and the Sagrestia Nuova, the first architectural work by Michelangelo. The latter, commisioned as a family chapel by Cardinal Giulio de' Medici and Pope Leo X, was begun by Michelangelo in 1521 and completed by Vasari and Ammannati around 1555.
Within the Sagrestia Nuova are the famous Medici Tombs carved by Michelangelo between 1524 and 1533 and the Madonna and the Child also by Michelangelo.
