Florence - Badia Fiorentina
|
|
The spire of the Badia opposite the Palazzo del Bargello is an unmistakable feature of the skyline of Florence. This church and its Benedictine abbey was founded in 978 by Willa, the mother of Ugo, Margrave of Tuscany (commemorated here every year on December 21st, the anniversary of his death). The church was subsequently enlarged by Arnolfo di Cambio in the 13th century and then internally virtually rebuilt by Matteo Segaloni in the 17th century.
