Giacomo Piccardi Tour Guide

Build with the money of Cosimo the Elder of the Medici, this monastery is deeply interwoven with the historic and cultural revolution happening in the mid-fifteenth century: The Early Renaissance complex hosts a museum dedicated almost entirely to the painter-friar Beato Angelico, who mediates between the innovations of art and his quiet spirit of devotion. We'll see Ghirlandaio's Last Supper and the works of Fra Bartolomeo.
