Art Gallery

It houses a rich collection of artworks that are closely related to the history of the institution. Most were commissioned by the hospital, while the others were acquired through donations or as a result of the integration of other welfare institutions. Built between 1436 and 1438 by Francesco Della Luna, the Pinacoteca consists of a large space with a trussed roof, a room dedicated to altarpieces from the church of Santa Maria degli Innocenti, and the spaces of the Coretto.

The collection includes masterpieces by great masters, such as Domenico Ghirlandaio, Luca and Andrea della Robbia, Sandro Botticelli and Piero di Cosimo, as well as works by artists who grew up in the hospital and were initiated into painting by Prior Vincenzo Borghini, such as Vincenzo Ulivieri, Giovan Battista Naldini and Francesco Morandini, known as Poppi.

The Nurses' Prayer Coretto houses a splendid collection of tabernacles and clothed sculptures, which are related to the devotional practices carried out within the Innocenti.
