The story of the oldest institution for children in the world, a collection of 80 works of art, the building designed in 1419 by Filippo Brunelleschi, considered the first example of Renaissance architecture: a unique place that combines past and present with a view to protecting the rights of minors. From the historical section to the art gallery, passing through the extraordinary historical archive, the visit itinerary allows you to delve into art and memory, witnessing a journey of hospitality that has never been interrupted since 5 February 1445, the day on which little Agata Smeralda was welcomed.
Church of Santa Maria in Peretola
Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi 10, Florence
*available from February
The church is located in the suburb of Peretola, place of origin of the Vespucci family, from which the famous navigator Amerigo was born. It dates back to the 12th century and its structure still preserves an original Romanesque part. In the following centuries the church, administered by the hospital of Santa Maria Nuova, was restored with important recovery works and enriched with many works of art, including a marble, bronze and glazed terracotta ciborium by Luca della Robbia, the first example of use of glazed majolica later made famous by the Della Robbia workshop.
