FLORENCE ITINERARIES Church of Orsanmichele Orsanmichele
is a church in the Italian city of Florence. The building was constructed
on the site of the kitchen garden of the monastery of San Michele. Located
on the Via Calzaiuoli in Florence, the church was originally built as
a grain market in 1337 by Francesco Talenti, Neri di Fioravante, and Benci
di Cione. Between 1380 and 1404 it was converted into a church used as
the chapel of Florence's powerful craft and trade guilds. On the ground
floor of the square building are the 13th century arches that originally
formed the loggia of the grain market. The second floor was devoted to
offices, while the third housed one of the city's municipal grain storehouses,
maintained to withstand famine or siege. Late in the 14th century, the
guilds were charged by the city to commission statues of their patron
saints to embellish the facades of the church. The sculptures seen today
are copies, the originals having been removed to museums (see below).
