This tabernacle recalls the history of the "Pia Casa di Rifugio dei poveri fanciulli", known to the Florentines as the Quarquonia. Here, in the 17th century, Don Filippo Franci founded a place of shelter for the monellini—orphaned or abandoned children—where they could receive care, education, and learn a trade. Don Franci himself treated boys suffering from skin diseases with an ointment he had devised, and he set aside spaces of correction for the most unruly, in order to spare them imprisonment and preserve their honor. The emblem of the institution was a she-wolf licking her cubs, accompanied by the motto “Lambendo figurat,” meaning “by licking, she nurtures them”: a tender yet powerful image of Christian charity. In 1786 the Pia Casa was suppressed, but the building continued to serve as a place of community and gathering. It became the Teatro della Quarquonia, where the mask of Stenterello was born, a symbol of Florentine wit and spirit. In the centuries that followed, it changed its name several times—the Teatro del Giglio, Teatro Leopoldo, and Teatro Nazionale—until it became the Cinema Teatro Nazionale in the twentieth century. Thus, from a place of care to a space of performance, this corner of Florence has continued, in different forms, to tell the story of the city’s vitality and humanity.
