Special Features
In the Fiesole district, this charming church is entirely built by the local stone quarried nearby called 'Pietra Serena' which was used for centuries by all the famous local artists and architects. All the local Villas and Churches have this greyish-blue stone framing windows and doorways.
Elegant arches surround the altar and organ while another local stone that is varied in colour has decorated the interior walls.
