Berta’s Santa Maria Maggiore Church

The Church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Florence, Italy, is a historically important religious site. It is one of the city’s oldest churches, with a long history extending back to the eighth century. The church is a combination of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles that has been renovated multiple times throughout the years. Here its the place of Berta. The Florentines refer to her as ‘La Berta’, and it is a woman’s visage around which legends have grown over the centuries.

Since the 1970s, we’ve been churning out the dunk for a snack around 5 p.m. People wait outside today, as they did before, to buy it warm and eat it like this, without anything.
