Stock Photo Description:
The Ospidale degli Innocenti, in the Piazza Santissima Annunziata, was an orphanage where unwanted babies could be left, anonymously, to be brought up and taught a trade. It was founded and funded by the Arte della Seta, the Silk Guild. The tondi, circular plaques, above each of the ten columns, were originally left blank until Andrea della Robbia was comissioned to decorate them with babies in swaddling clothes. Photographed 15th October 2005.
