Pieve di Santa Maria all'Antella

The stone structure features a rectangular hall with a quadrangular apse and exposed wooden trusses, illuminated by single-lancet windows throughout the building.

The first documented mention of the church dates back to November 4, 1040, when it served as the central religious authority for the entire Ema Valley.

The church holds regular Roman Catholic services and maintains its position as a religious center within the Florence Archdiocese's network of parishes.

Located at coordinates 43.72677, 11.32284, the church contains a Mascioni pipe organ from 1940 with 13 stops, replacing an older instrument from 1857.

The bell tower displays two distinct construction phases: a Romanesque lower section and an upper portion dating from the 12th-13th centuries.
