San Giovanni Battista, Modernist church in Firenzuola, Italy.
The San Giovanni Battista church features a slender bell tower and a large window set back from the principal limestone facade.
The construction of San Giovanni Battista in 1959 marked a departure from traditional post-war reconstruction methods in the Mugello region.
This religious building incorporates stoneware artworks created by Salvatore Cipolla in the 1990s alongside specially designed church furnishings.
The Ministry of Cultural Heritage has designated San Giovanni Battista as a protected monument, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
Architect Carlo Scarpa integrated natural light through strategic window placement, creating varying illumination patterns throughout the interior spaces.
