Waldensian Church in Florence

Waldensian Church in Florence, Protestant church in Florence, Italy.

The Waldensian Church in Florence stands at the corner of Via Pier Antonio Micheli and Via Alfonso La Marmora. Built in English neo-Gothic style, it has a tall square bell tower linked to the nave by flying buttresses, with pietra serena stonework and marble statues of saints by Cesare Fantacchiotti (1904). Inside, three naves are divided by five pointed arches on quatrefoil pillars, and the wooden ceiling bears painted decoration with Christ's monogram.

The first Anglican church in Florence, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, was built on this site between 1843 and 1846 to a design by Domenico Giraldi. In 1890 the Anglo-Florentine community commissioned Scottish architect George Frederick Bodley to replace it; work began in 1892 and ended in 1904. The Waldensian Church bought the building in 1966, having previously met at the temple in via dei Serragli.

The Waldensian community moved here in 1966 from the temple in Palazzo Ricasoli-Salviati on via dei Serragli, where it had met before. The former Anglican choir was screened by a carved wooden jubé, removed when the building was adapted for Waldensian worship. The wooden Communion table now stands raised by several steps, with a large cross behind it.

The main entrance is through the lower atrium to the left of the bell tower; a second portal opens on the right flank of the nave. The organ by William George Trice, with 14 stops on two manuals and pedal, stands in the last bay of the right aisle. The church sits at the corner of Via Pier Antonio Micheli and Via Alfonso La Marmora.

The organ in the right aisle was built by William George Trice between 1897 and 1898, with 14 stops on two manuals and pedal and fully mechanical action. It survives from the Anglican period, before the Waldensian community bought the building in 1966.
