Santi Gervasio e Protasio, Church building in Florence, Italy.

Santi Gervasio e Protasio is a church in Florence rebuilt in the 1950s to a design by Lando Bartoli, who incorporated the old apse and the 14th-century octagonal bell tower, encasing the tower entirely within the new construction. The facade has three bronze-on-oak doors by Gianni Oliveti, with the central Porta della Trinità inaugurated in 2001.

Tradition holds that the church was founded at the end of the 4th century by Saint Zenobius and Saint Ambrose, who brought the relic of the two martyrs' blood. It is documented from 1083 as the church of Saints Cerbagio and Protasio, with pre-1000 remains preserved in the crypt. After near-abandonment in the 17th and 18th centuries, Grand Duke Peter Leopold restored it in 1784 and it was reconsecrated in 1800. In 1952 architect Lando Bartoli won the competition for a complete rebuild, incorporating the apse and the 14th-century octagonal bell tower; the new church was reconsecrated in 1957.

The church's name recalls Saints Gervasius and Protasius, whose relics Ambrose brought here; tradition credits its founding to Saint Zenobius in the late 4th century. Bronze doors by Gianni Oliveti were inaugurated in 2001 and 2004, and the central Porta della Trinità has 365 rays, one for each day. A terracotta Padre Pio by Mario Pachioli was unveiled in 1986 by Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

The church stands in the northern part of Florence's centre, on the piazza turned into a public garden in the early 1990s. The octagonal fourteenth-century bell tower is encased in the new building and its flank is visible inside. The side door on via Elbano Gasperi, the Porta della Madonna dell'accoglienza, gives a second entrance.

Architect Lando Bartoli designed this church as a rare example of modernist religious architecture in Florence. The building demonstrates how worship spaces could be created using the design language of its contemporary moment.
