In 1597 the church was restored and embellished: it is a Latin-cross liturgical building, divided into three bays with the absiderialzata by a step.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245417&quot;:false,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The very simple fa\u00e7ade is in the classic gabled form with a tympanum; inside, the ceiling is composed of barrel vaults with lunettes and embellished with pilasters and decorated cornices, while of particular note is the intersection between the nave and transept where eight large columns of Doric order support four arches that see within them a cross vault in which frescoes depicting the four evangelists find their place.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245417&quot;:false,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The beautiful 16th-century altar consists of a central compartment, with the enthroned Virgin and Child and two side angels, and worked in perfect Renaissance style.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245417&quot;:false}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Of particular note is the altar triptych dated 1482 by Michele Ciampanti of Lucca, a painter and decorator who was very active in Tuscany at that time being in close contact with many of the most important artists of the time such as Filippino Lippi, Sandro Botticelli and Ghirlandaio. The triptych depicts a Madonna and Child between Saints John the Baptist, Vitus, Modest and Peter and highlights how Ciampanti in that period was breaking free from his most famous models to build a personal style, and at the same time testifies to the importance of this small church that could afford such a commission.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245417&quot;:false}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The church of Saints Vitus and Modestus, martyrs during Diocletian&#8217;s persecutions in 300 A.D., is located in the municipality of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":53178,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[150],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-places-to-visit"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
