"La columna de la Cruz de Trebbio se encuentra en la Piazza del Trebbio, en Florencia, cerca de la Piazza di Santa Maria Novella. La plaza es la unión de tres calles: via del Trebbio (antes vía Cornina), vía del Moro y vía delle Belle Donne (antes vía Trevigi); De hecho, el nombre de este lugar deriva del latín "trivium".

En el centro de la pequeña plaza está la Columna. Fue construido por la escuela pisana en 1300, pero existen rumores contradictorios sobre el motivo. La versión más acreditada es que la columna fue construida sobre un antiguo pozo en recuerdo de la victoria de las milicias del inquisidor dominico Pietro da Verona , los llamados caballeros de Santa María, contra los herejes cátaros, en 1244. Sin embargo, allí No existen fuentes cronológicamente cercanas al suceso que puedan demostrar la veracidad del asunto, pero en la base de la columna un grabado en latín conmemora este suceso.

La cruz tiene una base formada por un capitel románico volcado (sacado a la luz durante la restauración tras los daños causados ??por la inundación de 1966) sobre el que descansa un fuste de granito gris oriental, coronado por un capitel con los símbolos de los cuatro evangelistas. . En la parte superior se encuentra una cruz de mármol con, a ambos lados, la figura de Cristo y la efigie de San Pedro mártir que está protegida de la intemperie por un edículo."

"The column of the Trebbio Cross is located in Piazza del Trebbio, in Florence, near Piazza di Santa Maria Novella. The square is the union of three streets: via del Trebbio (formerly via Cornina), via del Moro and via delle Belle Donne (formerly via Trevigi); In fact, the name of this place derives from the Latin "trivium".

In the center of the small square is the Column. It was built by the Pisan school in 1300, but there are conflicting rumors about the reason. The most accredited version is that the column was built on an ancient well in memory of the victory of the militia of the Dominican inquisitor Pietro da Verona, the so-called Knights of Santa Maria, against the Cathar heretics, in 1244. However, there are no sources chronologically close to the event that can demonstrate the veracity of the matter, but at the base of the column an ??engraving in Latin commemorates this event.

The cross has a base formed by an overturned Romanesque capital (brought to light during restoration after damage caused by the flood of 1966) on which rests a shaft of eastern gray granite, crowned by a capital with the symbols of the four evangelists. . At the top there is a marble cross with, on both sides, the figure of Christ and the effigy of Saint Peter the martyr, which is protected from the elements by an aedicule."
