Da I' Curio In Scandicci

16/12/2025: The Chapel of the Lily is located at Via Borgo Pinti 58, within a convent with an adjoining beautiful church dedicated to Santa Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi. The chapel has undergone extensive restoration work by the Superintendency of Archaeology and Fine Arts of Florence, Prato, Pistoia. The guided tour, organized by the Superintendency, was led by the same restorers as the chapel and the architect in charge of the restoration. We explored the history of the monastic complex of Santa Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi, but above all, we were shown the difficulties encountered in restoring the splendid frescoes by Poccetti, a talented, yet little-known, Florentine painter. These frescoes, unfortunately in serious condition, are nevertheless incredibly fascinating.
