San Pier Gattolino, Renaissance church building in Oltrarno district, Florence, Italy.

The San Pier Gattolino church features an aisleless nave with a barrel-vaulted apse and displays architectural elements from the Renaissance period.

Originally established in 1050 as San Pietro Gattuario, the church underwent complete reconstruction in 1552 during Cosimo I's fortification projects of Florence.

The church houses notable artworks, including the Virgin and Child Enthroned with Saints by the Master of Serumido and a 1722 painting by Antonio Soderini.

Located near Porta Romana, the church currently serves the Romanian community with regular Sunday services in the Via Romana area of Florence.

Saint Philip Neri received baptism in this church, while renowned painter Domenico Veneziano found his final resting place within its grounds in 1561.
