Pieve di Santa Maria all'Antella, Romanesque religious building in Antella, Italy

Pieve di Santa Maria all'Antella is a Romanesque church built with stone, featuring a rectangular nave and a square apse. Narrow lancet windows allow light to enter the interior, while wooden roof trusses remain visible above.

A document of 4 November 1040 records goods donated in the territory of the plebes de Utinula, the first mention of the church. Eleventh- and twelfth-century documents show it headed a district covering the whole Ema valley. A bull of Pope Lucius III records that in 1184 the abbey of San Miniato al Monte collected its tithes; by 1217 it passed to the bishop of Florence.

The name Antella derives from the Latin Utinula, the form plebes de Utinula used in the 1040 document. In the 15th century the church was the seat of the Lega dell'Antella and housed a chapter of monks. The Guasconi family, who held patronage from that century, commissioned the polychrome marble baptismal font.

The church stands in the centre of Antella, facing the main square, so it is reached on foot from the village streets rather than by rural paths. The facade and bell tower are best seen from the piazza; the interior is lit by four double-splayed windows on the south side and an oculus in the facade. The bell tower rises on the left flank.

The bell tower's lower three storeys use brown sandstone and alberese limestone with two rows of single windows and one of now-walled twin windows; the upper three storeys, added in the 12th–13th centuries, are in ivory alberese with three rows of walled triple windows. The tower appears at lower right in Lorenzo Lippi's 1660 painting at the altar of the Seven Holy Founders.
