The Spedale degli Innocenti stands proudly as one of the most notable pieces of Renaissance architecture in the world, crafted by Filippo Brunelleschi, in the exquisite Piazza Santissima Annunziata in Florence. This Children’s Hospital was conceived with the purpose of providing care and support to children abandoned during the Renaissance in Florence. It boasts a vast collection of art, including paintings and sculptures, and invites visitors to experience the personal stories and belongings of the abandoned children of yore. You will encounter the wheel of the Innocents, the place where mothers left their babies, as well as the masterpieces donated by artists like Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, and many others. The hospital also houses hundreds of little drawers, each one holding the unique story of a baby who resided here centuries ago.
