The history of the Verone

The loggia, built at the end of the 15^th century and since then known as the 'Verone', was the clothes drying room used by the Ospedale degli Innocenti, until it changed its function in the 19^th century to become a 'living room terrace for nannies, infants and weaned children'. After almost half a century of neglect, in 2016 this amazing space, now beautifully renovated, has come back to life as the cafeteria of the Museo degli Innocenti.
