FLORENCE ITINERARIES Baptistry The
Florence Baptistery or Battistero di San Giovanni (Baptistery of St. John)
is a religious building in Florence (Tuscany), Italy, which has the status
of a minor basilica. The octagonal Baptistery stands in both the Piazza
del Duomo and the Piazza di San Giovanni, across from the Duomo cathedral
and the Giotto bell tower (Campanile di Giotto). It is one of the oldest
buildings in the city, built between 1059 and 1128. The architecture is
in Florentine Romanesque style. The Baptistery is renowned for its three
sets of artistically important bronze doors with relief sculptures. The
south doors were done by Andrea Pisano and the north and east doors by
Lorenzo Ghiberti. The east pair of doors was dubbed by Michelangelo "the
Gates of Paradise". The Italian poet Dante Alighieri and many other
notable Renaissance figures, including members of the Medici family, were
baptized in this baptistery. In fact, until the end of the nineteenth
century, all Catholic Florentines were baptized here.
