The Church of Santo Spirito and its square

Santo Spirito a Firenze

And I also want to talk about the Church of Santo Spirito and its square, because it is one of the most unique churches in Florence.

Just steps from my workshop, the church gives its name to the neighborhood I live in.

With its simple yet imposing façade, it is a great source of inspiration for artists and artisans, overlooking a square with a unique vitality.

A vitality that sees several market stalls in the morning and countless people shopping.

Locals, as well as tourists, always numerous in this important city of art.

And then there are the many restaurants and pubs that fill with young people and tourists from morning until late at night.

Shows and concerts are often held in the square, especially in the summer.

Anyone who comes to these parts, even for a short time, realizes the special charm of this church and this square.
