Church di Santa Maria delle Grazie (Propositura)

Built between 1628 and 1740 and restored several times, the church houses inside, behind the main altar, the Madonna delle Grazie, glazed terracotta from the workshop of Andrea della Robbia. Other works of great value are two paintings by the Florentine painter Giovanni di Antonio Sogliani (1492-1544): the monumental table with the Last Supper and the Lavender of the feet, both the subject of a recent restoration. Above the right altar is the table with the Deposition from the Cross (1515) by Domenico di Bartolomeo Ubaldini known as il Puligo, remembered by Vasari as "of his works the best". Church and Convent of the Cross The church, founded in 1499 by the Confraternity of Santa Maria del Borghetto in the place where St. Francis had raised a cross, was completed in 1566. First dedicated to the Saint of Assisi, only from 1537 received the current title. The convent was the object of an extension in 1563 which was followed by the addition of the loggia on the facade of the church (1565). The interior, with a single nave, is adorned with five-seventeenth-century stone altars erected by the major families of Anghiari, on which are inserted paintings of the seventeenth-century Florentine school, such as the Ritrovamento della Croce (high altar) and the Immaculate Conception of Domenico Cresti called the Passignano (right altar)
