Descrizione

Santa Maria di Firenze, an ancient, venerable Benedictine abbey (calledthe Badia) located in the heart of Florence, is the subject of Anne Leader's newbook. In 1418, 17 Benedictine monks journeyed to Florence from Padua to save one oftheir order's oldest houses from ruin. Realizing that reformed spiritual practicealone would not save the Badia, Abbott Gomezio di Giovanni commissioned the creationof a new cloister, to be decorated with vivid and engaging frescoes designed tomotivate its residents. Leader's richly illustrated, interdisciplinary studyexamines the Badia during this crucial period of reform and rebirth. It reveals therenovated Badia as integral to the spiritual, political, and social life of earlyRenaissance Florence, as well as to the broader program of expanding BenedictineObservance throughout Italy.
