San Donato in Polverosa, Romanesque church in Novoli, Florence, Italy.

The church features a single nave design with wooden trusses supporting the ceiling and contains several artworks from different periods.

Founded in 1187 by Augustinian friars, the church transferred to Cistercians in 1322 and underwent restoration after World War II damages.

The interior walls display fourteenth-century frescoes by Cenni di Francesco and Matteo di Pacino, representing religious scenes and saints.

Located at Via di Novoli 31 in Florence, the church maintains regular opening hours and requires proper certification for entry.

The name 'Polverosa' comes from the gray-robed Augustinian friars who were called 'dusty' due to their clothing color.
