About this activity

Spedale degli Innocenti is located in one of the first very famous Renaissance architecture in the world, created by Filippo Brunelleschi, in the beautiful Piazza Santissima Annunziata in Florence. The Chiildren Hospital  was born into a legacy for creating a place for the care and support of children abandoned during the Renaissance in Florence. Rich in works of art, paintings and sculptures, it offers the visitor the opportunity of meet the histories and the personal belongins of the abandoned children of the past. You will see the wheel of the Innocents, where the mothers left their babies, the works of art of Botticelli, Ghirlandaio and many artists, who donated the Orphanage their masterpieces and.....hundreds of small drawers, each one is the personal history of a real baby who lived here centuries ago
