Santa Lucia dei Magnoli

The church has had varied leadership over the centuries, including the Benedictine monastery of San Miniato al Monte until 1246, and the Bishop of Florence after 1373.

In 1421, Niccolò da Uzzano patronized the restoration of the church and decoration of the chapel of Lorenzo di Bicci, with scenes from the Life of Santa Lucia.

Another major reconstruction took place in 1584 under Cardinal Alessandro dè Medici, later Pope Leo XI.

[1] On the block stone facade, above the portal is a terracotta depiction of Santa Lucia between two angels by Benedetto Buglioni.

The main altarpiece is attributed to Agnolo di Donnino; it replaces a Sacra Conversazione, the Santa Lucia de' Magnoli Altarpiece by Domenico Veneziano, now in the Uffizi Gallery.
