A small church dedicated to Saint Proculus was established by the early eleventh century not far outside the original city walls. Its high altar was consecrated in the late twelfth century, rebuilt a century later, renovated again in the late sixteenth century, and moved in the early seventeenth century to the opposite wall of the church. S. Procolo was given to the confraternity of Sant'Antonio dei Macellai in 1742 after another interior renovation and finally suppressed in 1778, when it ceased to be a parish church. It then served as a private family chapel for the Salviati family, and in 2019 became property of the state under the care of the nearby Museo Nazionale del Bargello.
