Santa Maria del Sasso

The Church of Santa Maria del Sasso is a Renaissance structure of 1495, replacing earlier churches on the same site. The original church was built on the spot where there was an apparition of the Virgin in 1347. Above the altar is a fresco, "Madonna del Sasso", probably by the Florentine painter Bicci di Lorenzo (1350-1427); on the rear face of the central tabernacle is a representation of the miraculous apparition of the Virgin.
