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.
