Protestant Florence: the protagonists
Over the centuries Florence has played a key role in the history of Italian Protestantism: in the nineteenth century the city became one of the most vibrant centres of Evangelization of the various Protestant denominations, including the Waldensians and Methodists.
Italians and foreigners alike have described how during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries they were actively engaged in the dissemination of the Gospel. Their voices will help us discover a new Florence, where the stories and words of Ministers, teachers, intellectuals, entrepreneurs, exiles and converts echo each other.
