Santa Lucia in Borgo Pinti, Group home in Borgo Pinti, Florence, Italy.

Santa Lucia in Borgo Pinti is a residential care facility in central Florence that provides daily assistance and support services to people who need help with living. The building sits on a historic street surrounded by traditional architecture typical of Florence's older neighborhoods.

In the final stretch of Borgo Pinti, near today's Piazzale Donatello, stood hospices and lazzaretti later placed under the hospital of Santa Maria Nuova. Lisabetta, widow of the tanner Bartolomeo Salvini, obtained the land and building from the spedalinghi to found the convent of San Giuseppe, later moved to the Prato di Ognissanti. In 1695 the Educandato di San Carlo Borromeo replaced it, named after Carlo Gianni, squire of Grand Duke Cosimo III; its pupils were called "Giannizzere". In 1750 the school was absorbed by the conservatory of San Salvatore dei Mendicanti, and Father Bernardino da Gaiole opened the hospice of Sant'Antonio da Padova. After a period of abandonment, the Stigmatine Sisters took over the premises in 1929.

The name "Giannizzere" given to the girls of the Educandato di San Carlo Borromeo came from Carlo Gianni, squire of Grand Duke Cosimo III, who placed them with families and provided dowries. A tabernacle on the corner holds a Crucifix by Gianni Vagnetti, dated about 1950 and donated by his widow after his death.

The complex faces Piazzale Donatello at the end of Borgo Pinti, where the city walls stood until their demolition in 1865; the building sits at an oblique angle to the later viali. Look for the friars' canopy over the oratory entrance on Borgo Pinti and the corner tabernacle with Gianni Vagnetti's Crucifix, donated by his widow around 1950.

On the corner, a tabernacle holds a Crucifix by Gianni Vagnetti, carved around 1950 and donated by his widow after his death; he had planned to surround the Madonna's throne with the major Florentine saints but never finished. Above it, the bishop Leonardo Buonafede's coat of arms, with mitre and the word "Fundator", is now barely legible.
