San Martino del Vescovo
San Martino del Vescovo, also known as the Oratorio dei Buonomini di San Martino, is a Roman Catholic parish church, located in the small piazza of the same name, at the end of via de' Magazzini, corner via Dante Alighieri, Florence, region of Tuscany, Italy.
==History==
This church was founded in the tenth century by the nephew of the bishop of Fiesole.〔(Le chiese di Firenze dal secolo IV al secolo XX. ), by Arnaldo Cocchi, page 118.〕 It became the seat of the ''Compagnia dei Buonomini'', begun by the Dominican friar St Antonino Pierozzi in 1442 and aided by the munificence of Cosimo de' Medici the Elder. The confraternity was formed to benefit the ''poveri vergognosi'' ("the shamed poor"), as a grey stone plaque below a charity box announces on the façade.
Nine of the interior frescoes are attributed to the workshop of Domenico Ghirlandaio although their dating remains a contentious issue. The tenth fresco, '' The Dream of St Martin'' has recently been attributed to Lorenzo di Credi. Eight of the cycle of ten murals are based on the Seven Works of Corporal Mercy and show the Buonomini performing activities based on these tasks. The brothers are depicted giving food and drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, visiting the sick, giving shelter to pilgrims, releasing a debtor from gaol, burying the dead, witnessing an espousal and making an initial visit to a family in need. The two frescoes which flank the altar show scenes from the life of St Martin of Tours. The depiction to the left of the altar shows Martin dividing his cloak for the beggar and the one to the right, depicts ''The Dream of Saint Martin''. Inside is an altarpiece of a ''Madonna with Infant Jesus and St. John'' by Niccolò Soggi and a bust of St Antoninus which is attributed to Verrocchio.
The Buonomini are to this day active in Florence although their charitable activities remain secret. Each Friday afternoon the twelve good men meet in the Sala Riunioni to discuss the confraternity's business. The frescoes and the interior of the oratory underwent a sympathetic restoration program in April 2011.
