About Campo di Marte
What are the main landmarks in Campo di Marte?
Campo di Marte counts many sites. Sacro Cuore, the Chiesa dei Sette Santi Fondatori and San Benedetto al Mugnone hold the church side, while the Museum of the Last Supper of Andrea del Sarto and the Galleria Rinaldo Carnielo hold the pictures. Fondazione Scienza e Tecnica sits among them.
The English Cemetery, the Casa di Lorenzo Bartolini, the Torrino del Maglio and the monument to Giuseppe Mazzini fill out the rest, with parco di Villa Il Ventaglio and Nelson Mandela Forum on the open ground.
What is the history of Campo di Marte?
Florence's record fixes no founding date here. What Campo di Marte keeps of its past sits in its buildings: the ex-monastero di San Silvestro, the Casa di Lorenzo Bartolini and San Salvi, all of which the record attaches to the district rather than to a date. The English Cemetery belongs to that same record.
Sacro Cuore, San Benedetto al Mugnone and the Chiesa dei Sette Santi Fondatori carry the religious thread, and the Fondazione Scienza e Tecnica the scholarly one, with the monument to Giuseppe Mazzini standing for the civic.
