Annunziata http://beta.indianchieftravel.com/en/italy/tuscany/florence/florence-italy-4 <!-- google_ad_section_start --><div class="field field-type-text field-field-teaser"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p> Founded in 1250 and then expanded over the centuries, if you love tales of miracles, you’ll love this Michelozzo-designed church on the Piazza SS. Annunziata. It houses a painting of the Virgin Annunciate from which the church takes its name. According to local legend, an unknown 14th-century monastic painter finished the piece, except for the Virgin’s face, which an angel completed during his slumber. Suitably impressed, locals flocked here to pay their dues, later establishing a Cloister of the Voti where they would burn wax effigies of themselves in an act of devotion. Unfortunately, no effigies remain, but you should still visit both it and the Cloister of the Morti for their 16th-century frescoes created by Andrea del Sarto (his best known Birth of the Virgin and Madonna del Sacco), Rosso Fiorentino and Pontormo. The first two chapels on the left also contain works by Andrea del Castagno, including The Vision of St Jerome and The Trinity. </p> </div> </div> </div> <p> <strong>Piazza SS. Annunziata</strong> </p> <p> Piazza SS. Annunziata, dominated by its church, can be reached from Piazza San Marco by taking a right along Via Cesare Battisti to arrive on the square. Piazza SS. Annunziata's renaissance arcades are animated by a lively student population virtually year-round, but are at their best during the summer festival Firenze Estate, when the Piazza becomes the city’s main site for live jazz. </p> <p> <strong>Chiesa di SS.
