History and description
The former San Crispino Church was built around the 14th/15th century, by the Shoemakers Guild. Later a hospital (the Ospedale dell’Arte dei Calzolai) was added.
In the 17th century, the infirmary became a resting place for the insane and those suffering from tuberculosis. (In 1823, the Santa Margherita Hospital took over this role).
