From 6 May the Cenacolo del Fuligno in via Faenza in Florence, which houses the Last Supper attributed to Pietro Perugino, will reopen to the public again on a regular basis: the ordinary openings will be from Tuesday to Saturday from 8.30 to 13.00 with free admission.
Any other occasional openings on Mondays or Sundays will be communicated on the dedicated page on the website of the Tuscany Regional Museums Directorate.
The visit, as explained by the Regional Directorate itself, «will be a new opportunity to discover and study the artistic heritage of Florence, where, even outside the best-known itinerariesthe passionate visitor can find unexpected treasures of art and history.”
The Cenacle was once the refectory of the Franciscan tertiaries of Blessed Angelina da Marsciano, who founded a first convent in Foligno. On the back wall, the large fresco of the Last Suppera scenographic masterpiece of the late fifteenth century, attributed to Pietro Perugino and collaborators.
The hall also contains other fifteenth-sixteenth century paintings which testify to the success of the Perugian pictorial style in Florence and Italy. Also on display is a splendid wooden crucifix, coming from the convent church, attributed to Benedetto da Maiano.
