San Giovannino dei Cavalieri
- San Giovannino dei Cavalieri
The church of San Giovannino dei Cavalieri ("Young St. John the Baptist of the Knights") previously named Church of San Giovanni Decollato (Decapitated St. John), is a parish church situated in Via San Gallo in central Florence.
Initially the site held a 14th century home for women of "easy virtue" and dedicated to St. Mary Magdalen, it was renamed after the patron saint of the Cavalieri or Knights of Malta. Rebuilt from 1553-1784, with facade added in 1699. Presently it contains a "Coronation of the Virgin" by Neri di Bicci, a "Nativity" by Bicci di Lorenzo, an "Annunciation" by the Master of Stratonice, a "Decapitation of St. John the Baptist" by Pietro Dandini, vault frescoes by Alessandro Gherardini, a painted cross in the apse by Lorenzo Monaco, and a "Last Supper" by Palma il Giovane.
