Loggia del Bigallo Florence

The small and little-known Museo del Bigallo was recently enlarged, and was inaugurated in the summer of 2007. The Loggia del Bigallo now houses some recently restored frescos that were originally on the façade of the building. The fresco scenes depict the work of San Pier Martire, the founder of the Confraternità del Bigallo, and display his care for the poor and disadvantaged in 13th century Florence. It also contains an invaluable collection of art works produced in Florence between the 14th and 16th centuries, with extra pieces being added to the collections as they are restored by the Office for Fine Arts. The museum also houses the ‘Libera Achademia Leonardi Vinci’, which is a museum workshop that will display an endless source of documents, works, projects, material for study and research all attributed to Leonardo.
