FLORENCE, ITALY – A new mosque is to be built on Catholic Church land in Sesto Fiorentino, in the north of the city Florence.

A protocol of understanding to buy the land will be signed by Islamic associations, a local university and the Archdiocese of Sesto Fiorentino in the next days.

Iman Izzedin Elzir said «we’re going to keep looking for a place to build a Florence mosque; the one in Sesto will be Sesto’s mosque».
