Castellani Chapel, Chapel in Basilica of Santa Croce, Italy.
The Castellani Chapel walls and vault display frescoes by Agnolo Gaddi depicting stories of Saint John the Evangelist, Anthony the Abbot, John the Baptist, and Nicholas of Bari.
The chapel underwent renovation in 1815 to accommodate winter religious services, receiving a new entrance wall and a marble altar with an 18th-century canopy by Matteo Nigetti.
The space contains a collection of significant artworks, including Giorgio Vasari's Last Supper from 1564 and three 13th-century reliefs by Giroldo da Como.
The chapel functions as a burial site for foreign residents in Florence, featuring monumental tombs designed by notable sculptors Francesco Pozzi and Stefano Ricci.
The vault decorations include representations of the four Evangelists and Doctors of the Church, with saints of the Franciscan order depicted in trompe-l'œil niches.
