San Pietro a Monticelli, Renaissance church in Florence, Italy

San Pietro a Monticelli stands at the intersection of Via Pisana and Via di Soffiano, featuring a single-nave interior with Renaissance architectural elements.

The church, first mentioned in 1051 as part of the Benedictine Abbey of Sant'Antimo, transformed into a female monastery in 1345 following Benedictine rules.

The main altar displays terracotta sculptures by the Cieco di Gambassi, while a restored Giottesque Crucifix by Maestro del Crocifisso Corsi decorates the left wall.

The church maintains regular mass schedules and welcomes visitors to explore its religious artworks, including 16th and 17th-century frescoes in the monastery.

The refectory contains a preserved Last Supper fresco, while the chapel houses an early work of the Annunciation by Jacopo Ligozzi.
