Cenacolo di Santo Spirito Museum


ADDRESS: Piazza Santo Spirito 29
CITY: Florence
COUNTRY: Italy
PHONE 1: 055-287-043
The dark and haphazard museum in the church's old refectory (entrance to the left of Santo Spirito's facade) has a gathering of Romanesque and paleo-Christian stone sculptures and reliefs. The main reason to drop by is the end wall frescoed by Andrea Orcagna and his brother Nardo di Cione in 1360 with a Last Supper (of which only 1 1/2 apostles and a halo are left) and above it a beautiful Crucifixion, one of 14th-century Florence's masterpieces.
