Santi Jacopo e Filippo

The church features a single nave design with brick decorations, arched windows, and an apse that exemplifies medieval Italian religious architecture.

Built between the late 12th and early 13th centuries, the church initially housed a community of canons before transitioning to Augustinian management until 1783.

The central nave contains Giovanni Boccaccio's tomb, marked by a marble tombstone that reproduces the writer's portrait from the Uffizi Gallery.

The church opens from 10:30 to 14:30 during winter months and extends its hours from 10:30 to 17:30 throughout the summer season.

A 13th-century crucifix from Petrognano resides in the apse, displaying characteristics that researchers associate with the sculptural style of Nicola Pisano.
