Fashion Groove Café In Incisa in val d'arno

This lesser-known Renaissance church is home to Perugino’s frescoes and the Pazzi family tombs. The adjoining convent housed the mystic nun St. Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi. Its elegant cloister and refined decoration reflect Florence’s monastic traditions.

Con la nuova gestione siamo stati già due volte. In famiglia e con amici. Personale cordiale e simpatico, forse un pochino caotico ma tutto sommato buono. Cibo buono e ottima il rapporto qualità-prezzo. Ampia scelta nel menù. Buone le pizze e gli antipasti. Ottimi gli hamburger con patatine. Ci torneremo!

This church was associated with two very important monasteries, first with the Cistercians (until 1628), then from 1628 to 1888 with the Carmelite nuns of S. Maddalena de' Pazzi (who are now in Careggi). It is currently home to a community of Assumptionists. While the Carmelite nuns were here, Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi was proclaimed a Saint in 1669. Among the illustrious nuns who lived there, we remember the Florentine Ven. Maria Minima Strozzi, Maria Serafica Orlandini and Francesca Teresa Falconcini together with the Lucchese Maria Maddalena Trenta of venerated memory.

It is not so much the historic and precious walls that make this place a spiritual niche, but rather the uniqueness, friendliness and warmth of the Augustinian fathers of the Assumption who, with devotion and love, serve for the kingdom of God.
