The Basilica of the Santissima Annunziata in Florence is one of the most significant examples of religious architecture of the Italian Renaissance. Its origins date back to 1250, when the Servite Friars obtained permission to build a church near the second circle of the city walls. In the 15th century, the building underwent significant transformations: Michelozzo created the rectangular nave and the tribune, while Leon Battista Alberti gave the complex an innovative feel, connecting the nave to the circular space of the presbytery through a large round arch. Antonio Manetti subsequently designed the dome, completing the basilica in 1481.
Over the centuries, the church has become an important center of Marian devotion and a focal point for the religious and artistic life of Florence. The interior houses precious works of art, frescoes, and decorations that testify to the complex's long history and the contributions of great Renaissance masters. Today the basilica is undergoing restoration and enhancement work that involves both the architectural structure and the adjacent square with the famous loggia designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, maintaining its function as a place of worship and culture.
