Special Features
Originally named Holy Trinity, this was the first Anglican Church in Florence. It dates between 1843 and 1846 and was built by the architect Domenico Giraldi.
In 1890 the Anglo-Florentine community decided to re-do the architecture and a Scottish architect named Frederick Bodley was given the task. The church was completed between 1892 and 1904 in a late 13th century style. The interior is inspired by the English Perpendicular Style.
Outside, on the tower, there are marble statues of St. John the Baptist, King David, St.Alban, St.Augustine, St.Stephen (by Cesare Fantacchiotti), St.George, St.Andrew and St.Patrick.
The Holy Trinity was left to the Waldensians, an Evangelical Community, in 1967
