San Francesco a Bonistallo, Church building in Bonistallo, Poggio a Caiano, Italy.

San Francesco a Bonistallo is a church in Poggio a Caiano, set on a hill called Bonistallo and raised on an embankment. It has a single nave covered by a lowered barrel vault and an 18th-century interior. An 19th-century portico with numerous memorial plaques precedes the entrance, and above the four side doors mixed-line cartouches frame stucco reliefs.

The church began as the oratory of the Compagnia delle Sacre Stimmate, erected in 1600. It became the parish seat by decree of Bishop Gabriele Vettori of Pistoia and Prato on 10 May 1922, after the old church of Santa Maria Assunta a Bonistallo was sold and suppressed in 1902 to pay the debts of the new church of Santa Maria del Rosario in Poggio a Caiano, where the parish had moved. The Grand Dukes of Tuscany took particular care of the church, owning the Medici villa nearby.

The church keeps works tied to its history: Matteo Rosselli's curved canvas of the Madonna del Rosario with Saints Dominic and Catherine, painted in 1623, and Fra Felice da Sambuca's Jesus Christ Blessing with Saints Francis and Lawrence. Behind the main altar hangs Francesco Inverni's 1986 painting of Saint Francis kneeling in prayer. Above the four side doors, mixed-shaped cartouches frame stucco reliefs.

The church is located at Via Bonistallo 9 and sits near the Medici Villa and Cascine di Tavola Park. You can easily reach it on foot if you are exploring the surrounding area.

The church's name comes from the hill of Bonistallo, and the building began in 1600 as the oratory of the Compagnia delle Sacre Stimmate. It became the parish seat only on 10 May 1922, by decree of Bishop Gabriele Vettori of Pistoia and Prato. The old church of Santa Maria Assunta had been sold and suppressed in 1902 to pay the debts of the new Santa Maria del Rosario church in Poggio a Caiano.
