Santa María degli Angiolini - Florencia, Italia - Renaissance Architecture on Waymarking.com

"Santa Maria degli Angiolini , también conocida como Capella degli Angioli , es una iglesia católica romana de estilo renacentista , ubicada en Via della Colonna #34, que ahora sirve como escuela y dormitorio.

En 1502, media docena de mujeres florentinas se retiraron a una casa cercana comprada para ellas por un comerciante de lana llamado Dionisio di Clemente. En 1509 la comunidad tomó las órdenes dominicas y construyeron un convento y esta iglesia en el sitio.

Durante el siglo XVI, el convento fue ampliado para hacer frente al creciente número de monjas (totalizando 102 en 1561). En 1785, como parte de la reforma del establecimiento religioso promovida por el Gran Duque de Toscana, Pedro Leopoldo , el convento fue transformado en escuela. Suprimido en 1808, fue restaurado posteriormente y, en la actualidad, sigue funcionando como escuela. Parte del monasterio se utiliza como dormitorio."
