San Francesco di Paola, Florence

San Francesco di Paola is a small Renaissance-style Roman Catholic church in the Oltrarno quarter of Florence, central Italy.

Silvani, Giovanni Caccini, and Valerio Cioli contributed to the sculptural and stucco decoration of the church.

When the Minims were suppressed at the end of the 18th century, the annexed convent was turned into a patrician villa by the Federighi family in 1873.

[1] The main work of art is a fresco of Madonna del Parto ("Our Lady of Parturition") by Taddeo Gaddi, which was transferred here in 1785 from the former church of San Pier Maggiore.

Other internal sights include a 15th-century wooden crucifix, the Annunciation attributed to Giovan Battista Vanni, a 1602 Portrait of St. Francis of Paola, a painting by Ignazio Hugford and two works by Giuseppe Moriani (1716).
