GHIRLANDAIO’S TABERNACLE

Following the road that leads from Piazza Garibaldi to Borgunto – today called via Antonio Gramsci, previously via delle Cannelle and then via Ferrucci, in memory of the renowned family of Fiesole sculptors – the visitor crosses a small square called “del Ghirlandaio” because it contains a work by the famous artist. The interior of the tabernacle features a painted fresco by Domenico del Ghirlandaio, depicting in its centre the enthroned Madonna surrounded by saints.
