Florence - All Saints' Church Ognissanti

 
The church of "Ognissanti" (All Saints), one of the first Baroque churches in Florence, dates back to a 13th century building but was completely renovated in the 16th and 17th centuries. Restoration work had to be carried out in 1872 and after the flood of 1966.

The main features of the exterior are the glazed terracotta relief "Coronation of the Virgin with Saints", ascribed to both Giovanni della Robbia and Benedetto Buglioni, and the Romanesque Campanile.

Inside, at the second altar on the right, are Domenico Ghirlandaio's "Madonna della Misericordia" (Madonna of the Protecting Cloakd, 1470), and a fresco with a Pietà by Domenico and Davide Ghirlandaio (1472). The sacristy contains a painting on wood of "Christ Crucified" in the style of Giotto and a fresco of the Crucifixion by Taddeo Gaddi.
