Cappella Strozzi di Mantova of Santa Maria Novella, Fresco-decorated chapel in Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, Florence, Italy

The chapel features an extensive fresco program spanning three walls, depicting the Last Judgment, Paradise, and Hell in medieval Christian tradition.

The Strozzi banking family commissioned the chapel between 1340 and 1348, representing their rising status in Florentine society during the 14th century.

The frescoes by Nardo di Cione illustrate scenes from Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, reflecting the intersection of literature and religious art.

Visitors can access the chapel through the left transept of Santa Maria Novella basilica, located near Florence's central railway station.

The altarpiece, created by Andrea di Cione between 1354 and 1357, stands as a significant example of Trecento religious painting.
