Chiesa di San Pietro in San Gersolè

San Pietro in San Gersolè Church

The first mention of the church is found in an edict by Pope Adrian IV of November 29 1156 when it was confirmed to the parish priest of Santa Maria in Pineta, then an "ecclesia de S. Irsoleo" is mentioned in 1204, as a residency of the Vallombrosa monks.  

Only a few traces of the original building are detectable in the facade and in the south side. Originally along the north side, there should have been a cloister which was accessed from a portal, enlarged in recent times.

The single nave interior features a  wooden truss covering. The works of art that are housed here are a 17th century painting portraying the Madonna with Child, and a panel, also dating to the 17th century, with the Miracle of Saint Peter.
