Santa Margherita de'Cerchi

 
 
 
 
The Chiesa di Santa Margherita de'Cerchi is an ancient church in the centre of Florence, Italy. It is first recorded in 1032 and is said, contentiously, to have been the location of Dante's marriage to Gemma Donati in 1295. It was certainly the Donati family's parish church and also contains several tombs of the Portinari family, to which Dante's great love Beatrice Portinari belonged. The church contains a fine altarpiece of the Madonna and Four Saints by Neri di Bicci.
