Poppi Pizzeria Nuova In Empoli

02/01/2025: 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.
