Santa Maria della Pietà, Baroque Catholic church in Prato, Italy
The church features a Tuscan order portico entrance, while the interior contains a central altar made of polychrome marble by Giovanni Battista Cennini.
The structure was built between 1617 and 1620 following reports of a miraculous event involving a 14th-century Madonna and Child image in the Pesce district.
The church displays multiple art pieces, including a fresco by Giovanni Bonsi depicting the miracle and an altarpiece created by Mario Balassi in 1638.
The religious building stands at Piazza Santa Maria della Pietà 3 in central Prato, maintaining regular opening hours for visitors and worshippers.
The adjacent convent, originally housing Carmelite nuns in 1699, transformed into an orphanage in 1818 and now functions as a nursing home and cultural center.
