San Lino, Renaissance church in Volterra, Italy
The church features a plain facade with a portal from 1513, displaying proportional geometric designs common in Renaissance religious structures.
The establishment of San Lino occurred near a Franciscan nunnery in 1480, with theologian Raffaelo Maffei financing its construction and monastery expansion in 1517.
The interior contains twelve Stories of the Life of Christ painted by Cosimo Daddi in 1618, along with artworks by Francesco Curradi and Cesare Dandini.
The church stands in the historic center of Volterra on Via San Lino, making it accessible for visitors exploring the medieval town.
A memorial bust of Raffaelo Maffei from 1522 includes statues of Archangel Raphael and Beato Gerardo by Fra Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli and Stagio Stagi.
