It was the first building of a convent completed in 1534. The building was completely restructured and greatly modified Between 1707 and 1710 under the direction of Giuseppe and Francesco Melani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plastered fa\u00e7ade is flanked by pilasters culminating in Corinthian capitals, supporting a wide pediment, below which is a large window framed in marble above the doorway, it too framed in marble. Two marble plaques record privileges and honours conferred on the Compagnia del Crocione, and a third recalls restoration work carried out in 1895. A new bell tower was erected in 1710; square in shape, it is built in brick with a gallery in pietra serena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rectangular interior is completed by an apse and a choir loft; the church has an exceptional collection mostly of 18th century works of art. Near the entry, two marble putti support a shell-shaped holy water font (mid 18th century) and four half columns with stucco decorations embellish the presbytery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An oil painting by Ranieri del Pace, representing\u00a0<em>The Flight into Egypt<\/em>\u00a0(1729) hangs above the main altar. The vault of the apse is decorated with the coats of arms of Pisa, the Compagnia del Crocioneand the Misericordia (1955). On the left is a fresco from the school of Giovanni Battista Tempesti, representing the\u00a0<em>Flagellaton of Christ<\/em>\u00a0(early decades of the 19th century). A chapel in the right wall is dedicated to The Most Precious Blood. On the vaulted ceiling is a fresco of the\u00a0<em>Holy Face and Flight of Angels<\/em>. (1895) by Ranieri Cardelli. Closer to the entrance is the Perelli altar dedicated to the Holy Shepherdess and a wood and stucco statue of\u00a0<em>Christ Fallen at The Foot of The Cross<\/em>, carved by Giuseppe Giacobbi in 1705 for the Certosa and later transferred to this church.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3384,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"linea":[16],"class_list":["post-3604","fermata","type-fermata","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","linea-churches"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/percorsi-turistici.comune.pisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fermata\/3604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/percorsi-turistici.comune.pisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fermata"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/percorsi-turistici.comune.pisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fermata"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/percorsi-turistici.comune.pisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/percorsi-turistici.comune.pisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"linea","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/percorsi-turistici.comune.pisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/linea?post=3604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
