\"Badia <\/picture>
Badia Fiorentina
There was an older church called Santo Stefano on this place. In 960, it was sold to Willa di Toscana, mother of the Marquis Ugo. She built the Benedictine abbey called Badia Fiorentina around it. When Ugo became the Marquis of Tuscany, he increased the donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparition of the Virgin to Saint Bernard from Filippino Lippi. The painting was transferred from the church of Santa Maria del Santo Sepolcro, in the monastery of Campora, to Badia in 1530 to save it from the siege of Florence. An interesting detail is the depiction of a demon covered with fur and with threatening fangs hidden in the rock beneath the saint, who is depicted in ecstasy for the Marian vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The <\/picture>
The image of the Madonna is behind the altar. It was once outside on the wall of the church of Santa Maria degli Alberighi. On July 21st, 1501 a drunk and angry Antonio Giuseppe Rinaldeschi passed it after losing money playing dice. He collected some dung from the ground and threw it against the figure of the Virgin. Some reported him, and he was later hanged from a window of the Bargello as a warning to others. Today, the original is replaced by a copy, and the original is here on the main altar that was built specifically to repair the offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
