Through a miraculous image of the Madonna, Florence's grain market and granary became one of the most important and wealthy shrines in the city. Converted into an oratory, it was embellished with a superb marble tabernacle by Andrea Orcagna. Unattached to any monastic order, this unusual church was adopted by the powerful craft guilds that controlled the city government.

Part of the series 'Art, Society and Religion in Siena, Florence and Padua, 1280-1400'
