Fontegiusta Description
In the northwest corner of the old town, at the Porta Camollia, is the Chiesa di Fontegiusta, a hall-church built in 1482-84 by Francesco di Cristóforo Fedeli and Giácomo di Giovanni. In the brick facade is a fine marble doorway by Urbano da Cortona (1489). The church contains a beautiful marble tabernacle (16th century) and, on the left-hand wall, a fresco by Baldassare Peruzzi, "The Sibyl announcing the Birth of Christ to the Emperor Augustus" (c. 1528).
