Resumen de New documents for the Oratory of Orsanmichele in Florence, 1365-1400
After de Florentine communal grain loggia in piazza Orsanmichele was converted into an Oratory for the miracle-working image of the Virgin of the Confraternity of Orsanmichele, it underwent an ambitious decorative programme between 1358 and 1400. Many of these projects have been extensively documented. However, a cache of recently discovered documents further enriches our knowledge about the Oratory's appearance as originally planned, and the development and placement of some of its known projects. The new documents also reveal a previously unknown endeavour: protective bronze grilles devised by Simone di Francesco Talenti for the limestone traceries that he designed for the loggia's ten monumental arches in 1365.
