The church was built where there was a pagan sanctuary with a source initially consecrated to Apollo (Etruscan-Roman period) and in the high Medievo it was called Fonte Tecta destroyed in 1428 by San Bernardino. In its place the church was built on a design by Domenico del Fattore a late Gothic building was erected, with a single nave, with cross vaults and a shallow apse. Around 1490 the portico designed by Benedetto da Maiano was attached to the facade.
The Tuscany, one of the most beautiful Italian regions, is known throughout the world for its Landscapes and for the Works of Art that it houses (It is the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance). Six localities have been designated World Heritage Sites: the Historical Center of Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Pienza, the Square of the Cathedral of Pisa with the Leaning Tower and the Val d'Orcia. It is in the central Italy and borders with Emilia Romagna (north), Marche and Umbria (east) and Lazio (South). The West coast is bathed from the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Sea; here we can find the islands of the Tuscan archipelago including the island of Elba. The regional capital is Florence and the other provinces are: Arezzo, Grosseto, Livorno, Lucca, Massa, Pisa, Pistoia, Prato and Siena.
