		In 1221 this church and the surrounding area was assigned to the Dominican monks, who immediately began to transform it.

		A titolo di cronaca è da citare che durante il periodo napoleonico, dal 1799 al 1814, in questa piazza al posto dell'obelisco, vi era il palco della ghigliottina, detta la "vedova".
		L’ospedale fu dotato di ben 120 letti corredati di tutto il necessario, disposti in corsie separate destinate agli uomini e alle donne, con un soleggiato giardino (contornato da alti portici le cui colonne sono sormontate da bellissimi capitelli del Michelozzo), dove i ricoverati potevano passeggiare o godervi il riposo all’aria aperta.
		Giunti in piazza di Santa Maria Novella si può accedere, mediante una comoda rampa, al sagrato della chiesa che presenta una pavimentazione lapidea piuttosto sconnessa.

		Santa Maria Novella was founded by the Dominicans in 1246, but actual construction of the present church was probably begun about 1279 and continued into the trecento.
		The primary function of the structure was to serve as the tomb chapel for Giovanni di Bicci de Medici, the founder of the family fortunes, and, secondarily, to serve as the de Medici chapel.
		The logic, clarity, and harmonious dignity of the interior are enforced by the use of pietra serena in contrast to the white stucco of the walls, and the clear proportions of the interior relationships.
