Cappella Ammannati

Cappella Ammannati, 14th-century chapel in Campo Santo, Pisa, Italy

Cappella Ammannati is a wall chapel on the left side of the north wall of the Camposanto Monumentale in Pisa, aligned with the usually closed west portal. It takes its name from the wall tomb of Ligo Ammannati, a medicine professor at the University of Pisa, carved in 1359-1360 by Pisan sculptors including Francesco di Lippo and Puccio di Landuccio. Above the entrance arch is Benozzo Gozzoli's fresco of the Adoration of the Magi, and the chapel serves as an atrium to the hall of frescoes.

The wall tomb of Ligo Ammannati, a professor of medicine at the University of Pisa, dates to 1359-1360 and gave the chapel its name. It was carved by Pisan sculptors including Francesco di Lippo, Colo Mucido di Coscio, Matteo di Tome and Puccio di Landuccio, close in style to Nino and Tommaso Pisano. The tomb was then taken as the model for fourteen arcades meant to open new chapels; these were later walled up, except the Aulla chapel, to make room for Benozzo Gozzoli's Old Testament frescoes.

The chapel is named after Ligo Ammannati, a professor of medicine at the University of Pisa, whose wall tomb of 1359–1360 was carved by Pisan sculptors including Francesco di Lippo and Puccio di Landuccio. Above the entrance arch is Benozzo Gozzoli's fresco of the Adoration of the Magi. The chapel serves as an atrium to the Salone degli affreschi.

The chapel is located within the main cemetery complex in Pisa and can be visited during the regular opening hours of the grounds. Taking time to walk through the arched passages slowly allows visitors to see the painted decorations clearly and appreciate the details of each section.

Ligo Ammannati's wall tomb of 1359–1360 broke with custom at the Camposanto, where burials until then lay beneath marble floor slabs or in reused Roman sarcophagi. Fourteen arcades meant as entrances to new chapels were opened on its model, then walled up so Benozzo Gozzoli could paint his Old Testament frescoes, except for the Aulla chapel.
