Pieve of San Leolino, Romanesque church in Panzano, Italy.

The Pieve of San Leolino is a three-nave Romanesque basilica near Panzano in Chianti, with square piers of alberese stone, a wooden truss roof and a quadrangular apse. A 16th-century sandstone portico fronts the facade, and a monolithic baptismal font stands in the first bay on the right.

The church is first mentioned in 982 in documents from the Abbey of Passignano, and later received patronage from Santa Maria Nuova Hospital in 1508. These two moments mark important phases in its development and protection.

The church holds important artworks, including a polyptych by Mariotto di Nardo and glazed terracotta pieces by Giovanni della Robbia. These creations reflect the artistic skill that shaped this place over centuries.

The church stands just outside Panzano in Chianti, in the comune of Greve in Chianti, and belongs to the Diocese of Fiesole. A side portal on the right wall leads into a small cloister with a wooden roof on brick columns, and the canonica rooms open onto it. The oratory of the Compagnia del Santissimo Sacramento stands to the left of the facade.

The altar mensa rests on an 8th- or 9th-century sandstone slab, perhaps a pluteus, carved with a cross, ribbon interlace and spirals. Two sculptural fragments kept inside point to a building older than the 982 parchment. The church also held authority over 14 dependent churches in the Middle Ages.
