Sacra Famiglia

Sacra Famiglia, Gothic Revival church in Florence, Italy

Sacra Famiglia is a neo-Gothic church on Via Gioberti in Florence, built from 1904 to designs by Pietro Tincolini, who drew on the city's cathedral. Its facade has three pointed-arch portals and a rose window with marble colonnettes; the interior is a Latin cross with three naves. The lunette above the main portal holds a painted Holy Family.

The Salesians founded a college on Via Fra' Giovanni Angelico and an oratory on Via Cimabue in 1882, then built this church for the growing district. Construction began in 1904 to Pietro Tincolini's design; the nave was inaugurated in 1922 and the whole building finished in 1930. It opened for worship on 11 May 1930 in the presence of Ugo Giubbi, bishop of San Miniato, and was consecrated on 12 May 1932.

The church is run by priests of the Salesian Society of St. John Bosco, who founded a college on Via Fra' Giovanni Angelico and an oratory on Via Cimabue in 1882. The parish belongs to the Archdiocese of Florence. Above the main altar hangs a wooden Crucifix by Umberto Bartoli, and Galileo Chini painted the canvas of the Disciples of Emmaus.

The church stands on Via Gioberti, east of the historic centre, and can be reached on foot from Santa Maria Novella station. The 1982 Chichi pipe organ has 44 registers across three manuals and pedal, with about 3,000 pipes. The building is a working parish church, so visits should be timed around services.

The interior layout follows a Latin cross floor plan, merging traditional church form with Gothic Revival style. Artworks by Giuseppe Cassioli and Umberto Bartoli add sculptural detail throughout the devotional spaces.
