Parish Church of San Pietro at Pitiana
Highlight • Religious Site
The Pieve had a certain importance especially starting from the fifteenth century when it was owned by Giovanni Cavalcanti who also hosted Marsilio Ficino and Lorenzo the Magnificent there in 1469.
The church dates back to the Romanesque age of which the bell tower remains visible from that era, which already existed in 1028.
Today the facade has a late Renaissance appearance, with a sixteenth-century portico. In the central door, of fifteenth-century origin, are the coats of arms of the Cavalcanti family, and in the center is the crutch symbol of the Hospital of Santa Maria Nuova.
The main altar has a Romanesque relief representing Saint Peter blessing perhaps from the first half of the 12th century.
The two important tables by Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio still present in the church remain to confirm the importance it had in the Renaissance period.
On the right wall there is also a fifteenth-century stone tabernacle carved with elegant friezes.
The construction of the large villa that surrounds it on one side and which belongs to the Guicciardini family who owned many landed properties in the area also contributed to making the settlement more impressive.
