Chiostro dello Scalzo

Chiostro dello Scalzo

The cloister of the Scalzo (barefoot) is the entrance to the chapel of the Confraternity of Saint John the Baptist – known as the ‘Scalzo’ order  because during processions the cross-bearer went barefoot .

The space  is entirely decorated with monochrome frescoes depicting Scenes from the Life of John the Baptist, painted by Andrea del Sarto between 1509 and 1526, plus two scenes by Franciabigio.
