San Proculo, previously dedicated to the saints Proculus and Nicomedes, is a Romanesque-style, Roman Catholic church located in Via de' Giraldi in Florence, region of Tuscany, Italy. ==History== A church at the site was present by 13th century. The façade is in rough stone with a central rose window and two large side windows. Three other open windows along the sides on Via Pandolfini. The building was renovated from 1739 to 1743, when it became the seat of the Confraternity of ''Sant'Antonio Abate dei Macellai'', one of the four Flagellant brotherhoods known as ''buche'', characterized by the practice of flogging, strict discipline, and night time prayer meetings. The other three Brotherhoods were of the church of San Jacopo sopr'Arno, the church of St Jerome, and the church of St Paul. After the second world war, the church was used to house the indigent. It was heavily damaged by 1966 Flood of the Arno River. ''San Procolo heals a boy'' by Gaetano Piattoli, is on the main altar. Most of the other works of art previously in the church were moved to other sites or destroyed. Among works once in the church were: *Ambrogio Lorenzetti, ''Tryptich of San Procolo'' and ''Stories of St Nicola'', now at Uffizi *Lorenzo Monaco, ''Annunciation'', now at Galleria dell'Accademia *Filippino Lippi, ''Crucifixion with Mary and St. Francis'', destroyed *Filippino Lippi, ''Mary Magdalen'', now at Galleria dell'Accademia *Filippino Lippi, ''St John the Baptist'', now at Galleria dell'Accademia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「San Procolo, Florence」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
