Lungarno delle Grazie
Florence, December 2024
“The Lungarno delle Grazie is that stretch of the northern bank of the Florentine Lungarni that goes from the National Central Library of Florence (Piazza dei Cavalleggeri, near the Canto dei Tardiboni) to the Ponte alle Grazie, from which it takes its name, on the corner of Via de' Benci and the Lungarno Diaz. The Volta dei Tintori is inserted along the route. The name is linked to the nearby presence of the oratory of Santa Maria delle Grazie, today on the Lungarno del Generale Armando Diaz, but once placed on one of the pine cones of the bridge of the same name (to preserve a miraculous image of the Madonna), and destroyed in 1876 to widen the roadway and allow the tram line to pass through.” (Lungarno delle Grazie, Wikipedia)
