Santa Reparata, Benedictine abbey in Marradi, Italy

Santa Reparata, also known as Badia del Borgo or Badia di Marradi, is a Benedictine abbey in Marradi, Italy. The complex features a medieval bell tower, a Baroque facade, and a completely renovated interior from the 18th century, with large altars and contemporary paintings.

A document of 1036 records the first donation to Santa Reparata, showing the monastery already well established; a 1045 text says Giovanni Gualberto received it into his order, and a decree of 25 November 1112 confirmed its entry into the Vallombrosan congregation. The last abbot dates to 1762, and the abbey was suppressed in 1808. The church was rebuilt between 1741 and 1757, with a roof refit in 1660 and restoration work around 1995-2000.

The abbey is named after Saint Reparata, to whom a painted altarpiece frontal by the Master of Marradi is dedicated. The Master of Marradi, possibly trained beside Ghirlandaio, worked in a deliberately archaic style with extensive gold and calligraphic decoration. His paintings here were commissioned by the Florentine abbot Taddeo Adimari, exiled from Florence after falling out with Lorenzo the Magnificent.

The abbey is located in the hamlet of Badia del Borgo, a short distance from the center of Marradi. Visitors can explore the church and its artworks, but should check local opening times as it is a subsidiary church.

The abbey's bell tower gives it the appearance of a fortress rather than a monastery. It houses a painting by the Master of Marradi commissioned by Abbot Taddeo Adimari, who was exiled from Florence due to conflicts with Lorenzo the Magnificent.
