About
Sant'Ambrogio is a Roman Catholic church in Florence, Tuscany, Italy. It is named in honour of St Ambrose. Allegedly built where Saint Ambrose would have stayed when in Florence in 393, the church is first recorded in 998, but is probably older. Giovanni Battista Foggini rebuilt the church in the 17th century. A legend says that on 30 December 1230, a chalice, which had not been cleaned, was found the next day to contain blood rather than wine by Uguccione, the parish priest. This Eucharistic miracle made the church a place of pilgrimage. Francesco Granacci (1469–1543), an Italian painter of the Renaissance and lifelong friend of Michelangelo Buonarroti, is buried in this church.
