San Francesco di Paola, Florence, Renaissance church in Oltrarno district, Florence, Italy.
The San Francesco di Paola church features a classical Renaissance design with sculptural decorations by Giovanni Caccini and Valerio Cioli.
Construction of the church began in the 1580s as part of the Convento del Bel Riposo monastery, with architect Gherardo Silvani completing the work in 1643.
The church houses multiple artworks, including a 15th-century wooden crucifix and a 1602 Portrait of St. Francis of Paola by Ignazio Hugford.
The church maintains regular religious services and stands as an active parish church alongside San Vito e Modesto a Bellosguardo in Florence.
