Quick answer
Ognissanti Church is on Piazza Ognissanti, a 5-minute walk from Santa Maria Novella station. It holds Sandro Botticelli’s tomb, Botticelli’s Saint Augustine, Ghirlandaio’s Saint Jerome, a Crucifix attributed to Giotto and the tombs of the Vespucci family. Next door is the refectory with Ghirlandaio’s Last Supper.
Ognissanti is one of Florence’s most surprising churches: off the main tourist trail, yet home to Renaissance masterpieces and the burial place of one of the world’s best-loved artists. We see it every day from our apartments and always recommend it to our guests.
Where is Ognissanti Church?
It stands on Piazza Ognissanti, on the Arno riverside in the west of the historic centre: about 5 minutes on foot from Santa Maria Novella station and 15 from the Duomo.
Where is Botticelli’s tomb?
Sandro Botticelli, who died in 1510, is buried in Ognissanti Church near the Vespucci family tomb. His simple tombstone is in a chapel of the right transept: look for the name Sandro Filipepi, Botticelli’s real surname. This was his neighbourhood — his family lived nearby.
Which artworks should you see inside?
- Saint Augustine in his Study by Sandro Botticelli.
- Saint Jerome in his Study by Domenico Ghirlandaio, painted opposite: a direct comparison between the two artists.
- The Crucifix attributed to Giotto, restored and back on display.
- The Madonna of Mercy by Ghirlandaio, traditionally said to include a portrait of the young Amerigo Vespucci.
