Church of Sant' Andrea, Romanesque church in Pistoia, Italy
The church features a marble bichrome facade with intricate decorations, including sculptures and a portal created by the brothers Gruamonte and Adeodatus in the 12th century.
Dating back to the 8th century, the church underwent significant extensions during the 12th century, leading to architectural modifications that shaped its current structure.
The portal's architrave depicts the Journey of the Magi, reflecting the church's position along the Via Francigena, a major medieval pilgrimage path to Rome.
The interior contains multiple artworks, including a pulpit by Giovanni Pisano and paintings by Cristofano Allori, Alessio Gimignani, and Girolamo Scaglia in the side aisles.
The Giovanni Pisano pulpit from 1301 features detailed biblical narratives with naturalistic figures, marking a transition from Gothic to Renaissance sculptural styles.
