Spedale degli Innocenti and Museum Visit
Meet your Italian tour guide near the equestrian statue of Ferdinando I de 'Medici in Piazza della Santissima Annunziata.
Explore the Innocenti, which was responsible for the care of abandoned children and helped them rejoin society. Today, the Spedale degli Innocenti houses two kindergartens, three family homes for the reception of children, and some UNICEF offices. The building also reflects a clean and clear sense of proportion.
Visit the Museum of the Innocents inside the Spedale degli Innocenti. This very unique museum preserves a history spanning more than 600 years. You will also have the chance to see the personal memories of the 'Nocentini' - the children welcomed here - along with a gallery featuring important works of art by Ghirlandaio, Botticelli, and other artistic rarities.
