About
The church of Santa Maria del Carmine leans imposingly with a rough façade in stone and brick in the homonymous piazza del Carmine. The church was founded in 1268 and finished in 1476. It houses the worldwide famous Cappella Brancacci, painted with spectacular fescoes, in early Reanaissance style, by Masaccio and his master Masolino (completed by Filippino Lippi). The church was renewed internally, after the dramatic fire in 1771, following a project by Giuseppe Ruggieri. The interior is a Latin cross and characterized by a single nave and five altars on each side, decorated with eighteenth-century style stuccos. In the transept a masterpiece of the Florentine Baroque, the Corsini Chapel.
