Church of San Francesco by Vincenzo Micheli, 1932
Piazza Savonarola
Florence, December 2024
“The church of San Francesco is a Catholic place of worship located in Piazza Savonarola in Florence. The archive of the convents of the Minor Observant Fathers of the Tuscan Province is kept in the annexed convent. It was built in neo-Gothic style in 1887 by the architect Vincenzo Micheli for the Carmelite nuns of Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi, who had left their convent in Borgo Pinti. The latter then moved to via dei Massoni and were replaced in 1928 by the Franciscans, who decided to expand the church, according to the project of the architect and brother Fra' Raffaello Franci. On 15 April 1930 the church in Piazza Savonarola became a canonical parish with an Archbishop's decree and was consecrated in 1932. The building underwent a final renovation in 1971, when it was expanded with the opening of new spaces and repaved.” (Chiesa di San Francesco, Firenze)
