The premises are prestigious ones, both for their antiquity (15th c.) and for the beauty and value of the frescoes in the cloister, which were magnificently restored after the 1966 flood. The cloister, known as the “Chiostro di S. Pierino” or “Chiostro della Compagnia della SS. Nunziata”, is the destination of numerous visiting art scholars. The school is located in downtown: There is the crowded Piazza SS. Annunziata with its magnificent basilica and Brunelleschi’s famous “Loggiato degli Innocenti”; the equestrian statue to Ferdinando I° by Giambologna; the two fountains by Pietro Tacca, which rise in the centre of the square like two jewels; the nearby Pergola Theatre; Piazza del Duomo with the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore; the baptistery and Giotto’s bell tower; Piazza della Signoria, with Palazzo Vecchio and the loggia of the Uffizi gallery that at all times is animated by tourists coming literally from the ends of the earth.
