Rotonda di San Michele ai Nuovi Sepolcri, Foppone dell’ospedale

Often called the Foppone, this former hospital cemetery was conceived as a radial complex organized around the church of San Michele. Built between the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, it served burials connected to the city’s main hospital outside the historic churches. When the burial function ended, the enclosure and its geometry remained legible as an urban green space. Today the surviving structures and paths make the original layout readable while supporting public use.
