Santa Maria degli Angiolini

Local nameChiesa di Santa Maria degli Angiolini
LocationFlorence, Italy

Santa Maria degli Angiolini, also known as the Capella degli Angioli, is a Renaissance-style, Roman Catholic church, located on Via della Colonna #34, now serving as a school and dormitory.

In 1502, a half-dozen Florentine women retired to a nearby house bought for them by a wool merchant named Dionisio di Clemente. In 1509 the community took up Dominican orders, and they built a convent and this church at the site.

During the sixteenth century, the convent was enlarged to cope with the increasing number of nuns. In 1785, as part of the reform of the established religious promoted by Grand Duke of Tuscany, Peter Leopold, the convent was transformed into a school. Suppressed in 1808, it was later restored and, at present, still functions as a school. Part of the monastery is used as a dormitory.
