Pieve di Sant'Andrea (Cercina)
The Pieve di Sant'Andrea is an 11th-century pieve (rural church) in Cercina, Tuscany, central Italy.[1]
Initiated in Romanesque style, it was later remade. It has a sturdy bell tower with single and double mullioned windows. The interior is on a nave, and houses fragments of 14th-century frescoes (St. Anthony and one Female Saint). Other painting works include a Virgin Enthonred with Child between Sts. Andrew and John the Baptist (16th century), the Resurrection of Christ between Sts. Anthony of Padua, Mary Magdalene and Catherine of Alexandria by Francesco Curradi, and two panels with a Nativity between Sts. Lucy and Jerome and Massacre of the Innocents.
The marble baptismal font dates to 1613, while the stoup, also in marble, is from 1540.
