Cenacolo di Fuligno, Religious art museum in Florence, Italy.
The Cenacolo di Fuligno is a refectory with a large Last Supper fresco measuring about 4 by 8 meters, painted between 1493 and 1496. The space also contains additional frescoes by other artists that preserve the religious atmosphere of the former convent.
The fresco was created in the late 15th century and was long attributed to Raphael until experts determined that Pietro Perugino, Raphael's teacher, was the actual artist. The room was originally part of a convent that was later converted into a museum.
The fresco shows one of many Last Supper depictions that shaped Renaissance Florence, where such religious scenes were deeply connected to monastic life and daily spiritual practice.
The museum is open on specific days of the week and welcomes visitors during those times with free entry for all guests. The space is accessible at ground level, making it easy for people with mobility concerns to view the artworks.
The room contains frescoes by Bicci di Lorenzo that were originally in other parts of the convent and relocated here to preserve them. This move rescued the artworks from deterioration and made them available for visitors to see.
