The complex of Santa Maria Novella offers the opportunity to imagine and reconstruct the life, rules, schedule, and tasks of the Dominican friars of the thirteenth century, while simultaneously appreciating the richness of the masterpieces contained within the convent. It will be possible to personally experience the passage of time in the convent: prayer in the grand church, visually translated in the great works of Giotto, Masaccio, Brunelleschi, or Ghirlandaio; the communal meal in the refectory; the gathering in the Chapter hall; study in the library; silence in the cloister; care and assistance in the infirmary; rest in the dormitories. This allows for an appreciation of the historical and artistic significance of the complex.
