Pieve dei Santi Vito e Modesto a Corsignano, Romanesque church in Pienza, Italy.

The Pieve dei Santi Vito e Modesto is a Romanesque church outside Pienza, in the hamlet of Corsignano. It has three naves divided by square pillars, a slightly projecting west portal with a zigzag arch and a bifora above, and a cylindrical 11th-century bell tower at the northwest corner. The south portal's lintel shows the Journey of the Magi and the Nativity.

The church is documented from the 10th century, and its Romanesque form dates mainly to the 12th century. Pope Pius II, born at Corsignano in 1405, was baptized at its font, as was his nephew Pius III, as a Latin epigraph near the font records. In 1452 Pius II began rebuilding the village as the ideal Renaissance city of Pienza.

The entrance portal displays detailed stone carvings showing scenes from the Journey of the Magi and the Nativity within its decorated frame. These sculptures served as a visual story for worshippers who could read these biblical events through the artwork.

The pieve stands outside Pienza's walls, southeast of the town, in the hamlet of Corsignano that preceded the city Pius II began building in 1452. The interior is covered by a wooden roof; at the far end a light switches on automatically and invites you down into the apse crypt. The cylindrical bell tower rises at the northwest corner of the west facade.

Inside, one of the columns bears a serpent sculpture called Regolo, a symbol from pre-Christian times. This rare artwork shows how Romanesque builders sometimes incorporated ancient Roman elements into their new structures.
