Chiostro degli aranci, Renaissance cloister in Badia Fiorentina, Italy
The Chiostro degli Aranci features two levels with an upper gallery containing eleven frescoes depicting the life of Saint Benedict.
The construction of the cloister occurred between 1432 and 1438 under architect Bernardo Rossellino's supervision, establishing a notable Renaissance structure.
Portuguese artist João Gonçalves painted the frescoes between 1436 and 1439, creating a narrative cycle based on Gregory the Great's account.
The cloister maintains regular opening hours for visitors to examine the architectural details and religious artworks within the Badia Fiorentina complex.
In 1525, young artist Agnolo Bronzino created a replacement fresco of Saint Benedict, which later required transfer to canvas in the 19th century.
