Difficile scorgere questa colonna, dopotutto questa piazza è talmente magnifica. Piccola ma con una storia singolare la Colonna di S. Zanobi si trova in piazza San Giovanni, quasi davanti alla porta nord del battistero di San Giovanni. È composta da un fusto in marmo cipollino sormontato da un albero in ferro e una croce. Fu eretta nel luogo in cui sarebbe avvenuto un miracolo legato al culto di San Zanobi: al passaggio delle reliquie del santo, che venivano traslate dalla vecchia cattedrale di San Lorenzo a quella nuova di Santa Reparata il 26 gennaio 429, un olmo secco, in pieno inverno, al solo contatto accidentale con il sarcofago, sarebbe miracolosamente rinverdito facendo spuntare delle tenere foglioline.

Column in square outside the Duomo

The Column of San Zanobi is a monument in the historic center of Florence, located in Piazza San Giovanni. It is a work from the 14th century that indicates the place where, according to popular tradition, an elm tree blossomed on January 26, 429, when the body of Saint Zanobi was transferred from San Lorenzo to Santa Reparata. The column is made of granite and is about 10 meters high. It is topped by a wrought-iron elm tree, symbolizing the miracle of the elm tree in bloom. The inscription on the column says: There was an elm tree in this place, which I was so greedy for that when it touched the coffin of the holy body / it suddenly produced miraculous leaves and flowers. In memory of whose / miracle the Christians / and the citizens of Florence erected here this column / with a cross as a notable sign in the place of the removed tree. In this place there was an elm tree that was dry, and when it touched the coffin of the holy body, it suddenly miraculously produced leaves and flowers. In memory of this miracle, Christians and citizens of Florence, in the place where the tree was removed, erected this column with a cross as a clear sign. Worth the visit.

San Zanobi was the first bishop of Florence. When he died, his remains were initially buried in the Church of San Lorenzo. Once the construction of the new cathedral was completed it was decided that the Saint should be transported to the new temple. It was January 26, 876 or 871, many trees had died due to frost, when they reached the Baptistery, the coffin of San Zanobi carried on the shoulders of the faithful touched an old elm tree which immediately flourished again. Thus it was that this column was placed in memory of this miracle.

Commemorative column in memory of the first Bishop of Florence. You almost get "lost" in the crowd of tourists who noisily crowd the Piazza del Duomo. Beautiful, it deserves more care and attention because in all this extraordinary beauty it "gets lost" in the background! Not to be missed!

Diciamo che se non ci presti attenzione c'è il pericolo di perdersi questa colonna perché è circondata da tutta quella maestosità che è piazza del Duomo. Si trova sul lato sinistro

У Северных ворот баптистерия ( от греческого - " погружаю") находится колонна посвященная первому епископу Флоренции святому Зиновию,чьи мощи находятся в Дуомо. По легенде, во время траурной процессии гроб с телом Зиновия зацепился об вяз, росший на этом месте и чудесным образом вяз зазеленел. Всё бы ничего, но был конец декабря. После этого чуда на месте события была установлена колонна, которую 27 декабря украшают зелёными ветками. После всех красот и чудес Площади Дуомо, туристы мало обращают внимание на это интересную достопримечательность.

(Translated by Google) Cipollino marble column surmounted by an iron tree and a cross. It was erected in the place where a miracle related to the cult of San Zanobi would take place: at the passage of the saint's relics, during the translation from the old cathedral of San Lorenzo to the new one of Santa Reparata on January 26, 429, a dry elm, in full winter, only by accidental contact with the sarcophagus, would be miraculously revived by making tender leaves appear.

Built to celebrate the miracle of San Zanobi, so loved by the Florentines. The plant flourished again after being touched by the relic. History lives today in the monument in Piazza San Giovanni. Overwhelmed by the flood of 1966, suffocated by traffic for decades, it has now returned to new life. The other misadventure in 1501 was when the cross fell to the ground during the preparations for the feast of St. John. The pedestrianization , which took place in October 2009, freed the most beautiful square in the world from cars.

(Translated by Google) The column recalls the miracle of a tree that blossomed at the passage of the body of Bishop San Zanobi. (Original) La colonna rievoca il miracolo di un albero che fiori' al passaggio della salma del vescovo San Zanobi.

Passeggiando tra il battistero e il duomo, alzate un attimo gli occhi. Difficile da notare perché attratti da tutto il resto.

Ottima accoglienza, posto fantastico, cibo stellare… niente difetti. L’ho amato

A ricordare il miracolo si erge fiera, con il suo fusto in granito, la Colonna di San Zanobi. Ricostruita nel 1334, dopo che la Colonna originale venne distrutta durante la terribile alluvione del 1333 che spazzò tutti i ponti di Firenze. Nel 1375 fu aggiunta un'iscrizione sul fusto che ricorda la leggenda di San Zanobi.

Easy to find!

Super crowded

Next to such grandiose buildings that tower almost do not notice

(Translated by Google) It is located in Piazza di San Giovanni, next to the baptistery. It consists of a marble shaft finished off by a crown of fire forged in iron and a cross. It was erected in the place where in 429, according to popular tradition, there was a miracle related to the cult of San Zenobio, although many historians delay it until the ninth century: during a transfer of the relics of the saint, the sarcophagus that contained, pushed by the crowd, brushed with the branches of a completely dried elm, which began to flourish, new buds were born. The date on which the original column was erected is not known with exactitude, although it is known that it was destroyed by the floods of 1333, reconstructed and rising again the following year. The cross that the crown was added in 1338. The column was torn down on two other occasions; in 1501 accidentally, during the preparation of the festivities of San Juan, and in 1966, because of the severe floods that the city suffered. It is worthwhile to stop to contemplate it. (Original) Se encuentra en la Piazza di San Giovanni, junto al baptisterio. Se compone de un fuste de mármol rematado por una corona de fuego forjada en hierro y una cruz. Se erigió en el lugar donde el año 429, según la tradición popular, aconteció un milagro relacionado con el culto a San Zenobio, aunque muchos historiadores lo atrasan hasta el el siglo IX: durante un traslado de las reliquias del santo, el sarcófago que las contenía, empujado por la multitud, rozó con las ramas de un olmo totalmente seco, que comenzó a florecer, naciendo nuevos brotes. No se conoce con exactitud la fecha en que se erigió la columna original, aunque se tiene constancia de que fue destruida por las inundaciones de 1333, reconstruyéndose y levantándose de nuevo el año siguiente. La cruz que la corona fue añadida en 1338. La columna fue derribada en otras dos ocasiones; en 1501 accidentalmente, durante la preparación de las fiestas de San Juan, y en 1966, a causa de las graves inundaciones que padeció la ciudad. Merece la pena que nos detengamos a contemplarla.
