Places
Access documents by place names indexed, according the alphabetical selection available in the left navigation bar.
The items for places are arranged in descending order from the main locality. Thus the parish of San Lorenzo in Florence will be found under Firenze, popolo di San Lorenzo. Included are also churches, palaces, city gates, mills and any other useful topographical reference.
Places of origin for persons are instead catalogued in the index category surnames etc., under provenances.
The principal urban work sites of the Opera (cathedral, clergy's residence, papal apartments in Santa Maria Novella) are treated exclusively in the topic category destinations under Topics1. Sites dislocated in the territory (quarries, forests, fortifications) are indexed both in places and destinations.
