Culture & History

The Chiesa di San Domenico was consecrated on October 1, 1932, under the auspices of Don Oreste Veneri and architect Father Raffaello Franci. This simple yet elegant church is an artistic gem amidst the picturesque Tuscan landscape. It stands as a testament to the devotion and craftsmanship of the local community.

Over the years, the church has undergone several restorations, the most recent of which occurred in 2021. The project, which cost €63,911, restored the bell tower and facade, ensuring the church’s ongoing preservation. The restoration was made possible by generous donations from the CEI, the Diocese of Fiesole, and numerous benefactors.
