Pause at Ognissanti, a church where Florence's Renaissance and the Vespucci family quietly meet. Spend twenty minutes seeking out the Vespucci chapel and the frescoes by Ghirlandaio and Botticelli.

📖

Full description

Ognissanti may look like an ordinary Florentine church from the square, but it holds a string of significant Renaissance connections. It is tied to the Vespucci family, whose chapel is here, and houses frescoes by Ghirlandaio and Botticelli, the latter's work linked in reviews to the figure of Simonetta Vespucci.

Visitors also point out the Ghirlandaio presence as a main reason to come. Entry is free and a visit takes around twenty minutes.

The high rating and large number of reviews suggest it consistently rewards those who step inside rather than passing by.

Reviews

Worth the visit. Ghirlandaio, famous renaissance painter, Carolina Bonaparte, Empress of France ( a coincidence that French Cosulate is in this Square), and Simonetta Vespucci, iconic figure and considered the most beautifull renaissance woman the "senza pari - without equal"( see Botticelli Birth of Venus) all…
