All that remains of the original, eleventh century Vallombrosian church, is the Romanesque façade (visible on the inside of the building) and the crypt. The XVI century façade by Buontalenti leads to the cross-vaulted Gothic interior with its lateral chapels. One of these chapels, Bartolini-Salimbeni, was decorated by Lorenzo Monaco during the first half of the fifteenth century. Two other masterpieces created for this church, but now in museums, the Adoration of the Magi by Gentile da Fabriano (Uffizi) and the Deposition by Beato Angelico (Museo di San Marco) date from the same period. In the right transept is the beautiful Sassetti Chapel, decorated by Ghirlandaio around 1480 with lively frescoes depicting scenes from the Life of St. Francis set in Renaissance Florence. The frescoes are filled with portraits of the era’s rich and famous; and the Annunciation on the altarpiece which abounds with classical references. In the left transept is the tomb of the bishop, B. Federighi, by Luca della Robbia.
