    This church dates back to the 12th century when following a visit by Thomas Beckett, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1162, a chapel and oratory were built. These were transformed into a church during the 13th century. The current building dates back to the mid 15th century and was built on the original 13th century structure.

    The 15th century facade is of brick and has a single Renaissance portal and an oculus. The current bell tower, which forms part of the apse, was built in 1464 following the collapse of the previous bell tower.

    Inside the structure is of a single nave with three side chapels on either side and a tower apse built into the city walls. However the chapels on the right side are a different width to those on the left. It is assumed that this is the result of the fact that the longitudinal walls of the nave are a different length due the positioning of the facade to align with the street.

    Internally the church's appearance dates back substantially to the 18th century with the richly decorated stucco nave and presbytery as well as the heavily decorated side altars. There are remnants of frescoes on the walls and a number of 16th century artworks. The vaulted ceiling above the main altar and the walls of the apse are beautifully decorated with gold trim whilst there are a number of marble columns.

    This gallery has a wide range of artist, many of them internationally known. It also has some very important local italian painters. There are few gallery dealers who have the sophistication and knowledge provided by Grantfield Gallery.

    After coming to Anghiari many times I wandered into this beautiful building, recently opened after renovations. There is a Roman wine cellar and lovely sculpture exhibition. The custodian was very helpful and informative.

    Just because this is not a giant cathedral doesn’t reduce the historic importance of this small yet impressive church. The first one built in Anghiari. Recommended

    We were strolling through Montalcino when we came across the Busatti shop. Since it was late they were already closed but could see some nice articles.

    Upon returning home we ordered one tablecloth and 8 napkins. Delivery time was appropriate and the packaging of the items showed the pride they take in their craft and their products.
    Tablecloth and napkins: immaculate, beautiful and high quality (see photos).

    Included was a handwritten greetings card. Where else do you get that kind of customer treatment, even for a first time buyer?

    This was our first time purchase but surely not the last one.

    Mille graziee cordiali saluti
    Monika & Michael
