Chiesa di Santa Cita

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:16:44

This 14th-century church is named after the patron saint of domestic servants. The Dominican priests who acquired the church in the 16th century cleverly allowed rich families to bury their dead here, thus both collecting income for the priests' monastery and endowing the church with particularly lavish funerary chapels. There are also some sculptures by Antonio Gagini.
