Church San Frediano Florence reflection on the river ... the clouds with a church did give a beautiful image reflection on the river Arno... San Frediano in Cestello is a church in the Oltrarno section of Florence, Tuscany, Italy. The name cestello derives from the Cistercians who occupied the church in 1628. Previously the site had a 1450s church attached to the cloistered Carmelite convent of Santa maria degli Angeli. In 1680-1689, the church was rebuilt on the designs of Gherardo Silvani and Giulio Cerutti. The imposing cupola and bell tower added in 1689 by Antonio Maria Ferri. In the former convent of the site lived and died Saint Magdalena de Pazzi (1566â€“1607), born to a noble Florentine family. She was renowned for her ecstasies, during which she had visions of the divine will favoring church reforms. She was canonized by 1662. Her body was transferred to the church in central Florence that bears her name.
