Notes

  • [a] Not to be confused with the male monastery north of the river in today's via degli Alfani, this convent formerly stood catty-cornered to the parish church of San Frediano and backed up to the lungarno.
  • [b] After the church was reconstructed and reoriented to face the Arno, it was renamed Cestello Nuovo.
  • [c] The Carmelite nuns of S. Maria swapped houses with the Cistercian monks in Borgo Pinti.
