San Matteo, Medieval church near Arno River, Pisa, Italy.
The San Matteo church features a single hall interior with elaborate frescoes by Giuseppe and Francesco Melani painted between 1730 and 1735.
The church structure dates back to the 8th century and was transferred to the Benedictine order in 1027, with major reconstruction of the facade in 1608.
The ceiling displays the Glory of San Matteo fresco from 1717, demonstrating the artistic influence of Pietro da Cortona on Italian religious art.
The building preserves elements of Pisan-Romanesque architecture, including blind arches and lozenges from the original 11th-century construction.
The Florentine forces demolished the original bell tower in 1509, marking a significant change in the architectural composition of the church.
