Chiesa di Santo Stefano a Ugnano, Modern church in Mantignano-Ugnano, Italy.

The Chiesa di Santo Stefano a Ugnano stands on via di Fagna in the southwestern outskirts of Florence. Rebuilt in 1953 after wartime destruction, it preserves almost nothing of the Romanesque original except two wall fragments on the north flank, one of ochre limestone blocks laid in courses, the other of alberese limestone. The adjoining Oratorio del Santissimo Crocifisso, decorated with a cycle of paintings by Alfredo Cifariello, houses an ancient Crucifix image brought here in 1780 from a suppressed Roman confraternity.

The first documented record dates to 20 November 1011, when the church's patronage was donated to the Badia a Settimo; parishioners held it until June 1097. By 1189 Ugnano was described as fortified, and by 1203 the church owned land in the abbey's territory. German mines destroyed the church, its 14th-century courtyard and artworks in August 1944; it reopened after reconstruction in 1953.

The church's namesake is Saint Stephen, whose Martyrdom was once depicted in a fresco destroyed with the building in 1944. In the adjoining Oratorio del Santissimo Crocifisso, decorated with a cycle of paintings by Alfredo Cifariello, an old Crucifix image is venerated; it arrived here in 1780 from a suppressed Roman confraternity.

The church is located near Via di Fagna in the Isolotto-Legnaia neighborhood within Florence's Borough 1. It helps to be aware of this residential location when planning your visit.

The site includes the Oratorio del Santissimo Crocifisso, a separate building section with its own religious purpose. This chapel shows how the complex historically provided different devotional spaces for the community.
