"St. Antoninus Founds the Company of Good Men at San Martino" is a lunette fresco by the Italian painter Michelangelo Cinganelli, also known as Michelangelo di Matteo di Domenico Cinganelli. The artwork is located in the Basilica of San Marco in Florence, Italy, and it depicts the historical event of Saint Antoninus, the Archbishop of Florence, establishing the Compagnia di San Martino, also known as the "Buonomini di San Martino," in 1441.

The fresco is part of a series that adorns the walls of the San Marco Basilica, each illustrating significant episodes from the life of St. Antoninus. Cinganelli's work is celebrated for its vivid portrayal of the figures and its contribution to the storytelling of the saint's charitable acts. The lunette captures the moment when St. Antoninus, in his commitment to aiding the poor and the needy, brings together a group of pious men to form a confraternity dedicated to discreetly assisting impoverished Florentine citizens.

Michelangelo Cinganelli, active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, was known for his work in the Mannerist style, which is characterized by elongated figures and often complex compositions. His fresco of St. Antoninus is a testament to the religious and social history of Florence during the Renaissance and reflects the values of charity and community support that were central to the city's identity.

The lunette is not only a piece of religious art but also a historical document, as it represents the foundation of an organization that still exists today, continuing the mission set forth by St. Antoninus over five centuries ago. The Compagnia di San Martino, or the "Good Men of St. Martin," remains active in its charitable endeavors, making Cinganelli's fresco a living connection to Florence's enduring legacy of social welfare and the arts.
