Parish Church of Saints Egidio and Savino

Dating back to the 12th century, the Parish Church of Saints Egidio and Savino is one of the oldest places of worship in the town. Originally Romanesque in style, it underwent numerous restorations over the centuries, culminating in a major 18th-century transformation that gave it its current appearance.

Located between Corso Sangallo and Via della Misericordia, the church has a rectangular plan and a simple façade adorned with a portal with architrave, two splayed windows, and an elegant rose window. On the side stands a portal bearing the coat of arms of the Galletti family, patrons of the church since 1494 by concession of Pope Alexander VI.

Inside are a fragment of a fresco depicting Torch-bearing Angels Opening a Pavilion by Niccolò Soggi, the funerary monument of Fabiano Ciocchi di Monte attributed to the workshop of Andrea Bregno, and the display of two traditional funeral carriages belonging to the Misericordia.

Over the centuries, the parish church was rebuilt by architect Sandro Bambocci in the 15th century, renovated in the 17th century, and completely reconstructed in 1748–49 shortly after becoming an archpriesthood. When the parish title transferred to the nearby Church of Sant’Agostino, the building passed to the Confraternity of the Misericordia, which still preserves its memory and upkeep today.
