"En esta zona en la antigüedad estaba la piedra de molino (piedra de rueda llena) utilizada por un molino a lo largo de las acequias alimentadas por el Mugnone que rodeaba las murallas de Matilde. Después de mover el arroyo, el molino desapareció, pero la piedra de molino permaneció tapiada durante mucho tiempo en esta esquina, que tomó el nombre de Canto alla Macine. Sobre esta ruina, usándola como púlpito, solía predicar el padre Diego Laínez , introductor de los jesuitas en Toscana y, en una casa del canto, vivía el pintor Calandrino , hecho famoso por las novelas del Decamerón de Giovanni Boccaccio .
La iglesia había sido fundada en el siglo XI por monjes basilianos , llamados en Florencia "Ermini" por su uso del idioma armenio y estaba dedicada a San Basilio. Celebraban en su propio idioma, incomprensible para el pueblo, de donde se derivó la expresión popular de “recitar la canción de los armenios”, para decir un cántico incomprensible.

A finales del siglo XV el edificio se convirtió en hospicio de la Congregación de Sacerdotes Pobres del Espíritu Santo, que albergaba a sacerdotes ancianos reducidos a la pobreza. Un tondo en terracota Della Robbia con una paloma blanca en el lado de via San Gallo recuerda esa época.

Posteriormente sufrió varias remodelaciones, hasta que en 1939 pasó a la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día. La última restauración data de 2008 .
Una placa al costado recuerda la prohibición de los Otto de tener y vender ganado cerca de la iglesia".

"In this area in ancient times there was the millstone (full wheel stone) used by a mill along the ditches fed by the Mugnone that surrounded the walls of Matilda. After moving the stream, the mill disappeared, but the millstone remained walled up for a long time on this corner, which took the name of Canto alla Macine.On this ruin, using it as a pulpit, Father Diego Laínez used to preach, introducer of the Jesuits in Tuscany and, in a house of singing , lived the painter Calandrino , made famous by Giovanni Boccaccio 's Decameron novels .
The church had been founded in the 11th century by Basilian monks, called in Florence "Ermini" for their use of the Armenian language and was dedicated to Saint Basil. They celebrated in their own language, incomprehensible to the people, from which the popular expression of "reciting the song of the Armenians" was derived, to say an incomprehensible song.

At the end of the 15th century, the building became the hospice of the Congregation of Poor Priests of the Holy Spirit, which housed elderly priests reduced to poverty. A Della Robbia terracotta tondo with a white dove on the side of via San Gallo recalls that time.

Subsequently, it underwent several renovations, until in 1939 it became the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The last restoration dates back to 2008.
A plaque on the side recalls the Ottos' ban on keeping and selling cattle near the church."
