San Pierino arch, Medieval stone arch in Borgo degli Albizi, Florence, Italy
The San Pierino arch features three original archways, with two now sealed, while the central passage leads to Via San Pier Maggiore.
Built in 1638 by architect Matteo Nigetti, this arch served as the grand entrance to the San Pier Maggiore church until its demolition in 1784.
The arch marked the location where new bishops of Florence participated in symbolic marriage ceremonies with the abbess of San Pier Maggiore church.
Located at coordinates 43.7716N and 11.2618E, the arch now houses residential apartments and shops while maintaining its function as a pedestrian passage.
The structure contains relocated memorial elements, including sculptures by Giovan Battista Foggini, originally commissioned by the Marquis Luca degli Albizi.
