Cappella Bardi of Santa Maria Novella, Bardi Family Chapel in Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, Florence, Italy

The Bardi Chapel contains two cross-vaulted spaces with delicate stained glass windows and frescoes within the walls of Santa Maria Novella.

The chapel was established following Gulaterotto de' Bardi's last testament in 1331, with his son Piero commissioning its construction and decorative elements.

The chapel's dedication to Saint Louis of Toulouse and Saint Louis IX of France reflects the Bardi family's connections to the Neapolitan Angevin dynasty.

The iron railing, crafted by Conte di Lello in 1335, separates the chapel space from the main basilica while preserving its architectural integrity.

The stained glass window, created between 1332 and 1336, displays royal saints related to Louis through the Hungarian Árpád and Neapolitan Angevin dynasties.
