In Florence, there is a unique and lesser-known but highly culturally significant tour: the Cenacoli, filled with frescoes and monumental panels on the theme of the Last Supper.

The artworks are housed in the locations for which they were originally conceived and commissioned between the 14th and 16th centuries.

An itinerary that begins with Taddeo Gaddi in Santa Croce around 1340 and continues with Orcagna, Andrea del Castagno, Ghirlandaio, Perugino, Franciabigio, culminating in the High Renaissance with Andrea del Sarto and Alessandro Allori, concluding the journey with the cenacolo of Carmine (1582).

CENACOLO DI SAN SALVI

In the ancient refectory of the Vallombrosan abbey on the outskirts of Florence, Andrea del Sarto painted the realistic Last Supper in fresco, his most spectacular masterpiece, one of the most beautiful paintings in the world (begun in 1519 and finished in 1527).

CENACOLO DELLA CALZA

The convent where Franciabigio frescoed the entire back wall with the Last Supper (1514) was called S. Giovanni alla Porta di San Pier Gattolino, later taking its current name from the cap of the Ingesuati monks.

CENACOLO DI FOLIGNO
The Cenacolo of Foligno: in the refectory of the former convent of the Franciscan Third Order Sisters of S. Onofrio, known as Fuligno, Perugino painted the Last Supper (circa 1495) characterized by the brilliant Umbrian backdrop, while the figures appear school-like.

CENACOLO DI SAN MARCO
The fresco by Domenico Ghirlandaio depicting the Last Supper (circa 1482) decorates the small refectory of the Dominican convent of San Marco.

CENACOLO DI OGNISSANTI
On the head wall of the great refectory of the Ognissanti convent is depicted the Last Supper by Domenico Ghirlandaio (1480), and the sinopia of the fresco is also visible.

CENACOLO DI S. CROCE
The Last Supper by Taddeo Gaddi (circa 1340) with the Tree of the Cross and other scenes above it, a fresco. Formerly attributed to Giotto, it is perhaps the first great depiction of the 'Supper' in Florence.

CENACOLO DI SANTO SPIRITO
Fragment of the Last Supper (beneath the scene of the Crucifixion) by Andrea Orcagna (circa 1370), fresco.

CENACOLO DI SANTA APOLLONIA
The Last Supper (before 1450), overshadowed by the Crucifixion, Deposition, and Resurrection, is the fresco masterpiece of Andrea Del Castagno.
