Chiesa di Santa Felicita
 

Description

The foundations of one of the city's oldest churches date back to the 4th century, when Christianity was in its infancy. Named after Roman martyr St. Felicita, the church gradually took shape during the Romanesque period. In the first half of the 18th century Ferdinando Ruggieri made changes to the building, one of which was the inclusion in the structure of the Vasari Corridor that connected the Palazzo Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti. During the reign of Medici successors the Lorraine family, the church was used as a court chapel. Designed by Brunelleschi for the Barbadori family, little of the original structure of the chapel (later known as the Capponi Chapel) remains due to renovation work carried out during the 18th century. It does, however, contain two sixteenth-century masterpieces:the Deposition and the Annunciation by Jacopo Carrucci (also known as Pontormo) that were commissioned by Ludovico Capponi.

Forgotten treasure
By ,
This church is often overlooked by visitors to Florence. Please visit it anyway. The atmosphere, the paintings, the neighborhood are all not to be missed.
