Ospedale del Ceppo and its Famous Frieze

Pistoia · Italy

The 16th-century loggia of this former hospital is decorated with a vivid glazed terracotta frieze by Giovanni della Robbia depicting the Seven Works of Mercy, and it is one of the most visually striking things in all of Pistoia. Kids respond well to the bold colors and the story of what each scene depicts is easy to explain in child-friendly terms.
