The former convent of Sant’Orsola, located in the district of San Lorenzo, occupies almost entirely the block between Sant’Orsola, via Guelfa, via Panicale and via Taddea. In 2009 it was transferred to the Province of Florence – today Metropolitan City – in order to “satisfy, among other things, the social and educational purposes, with the intended public use of the property”. The former convent consists of a series of buildings arranged around some courtyards and cloisters according to the monastic typology with spaces of various size distributed on 8 levels for a surface of 17,500 square meters. The complex, even if it is inserted in an area of great historical and architectural value, has fallen into decay, resulting in structural and social degradation. A series of structural works were carried out for the possible use as a barracks of the Guardia di Finanza but the project was then abandoned. Today the recovery cannot be postponed by implementing a variety of community services which are essential for the revitalization of the whole area.
