  •  InfoSan Pietro in Perticaia, is a small country church documented since the year 1066 in the municipality of Rignano sull'Arno in the province of Florence, in the Tuscany region. In this year it appears to belong to a certain Rolandino del fu Nero who sold it to his mother Gisla who, in turn, in the same year, donated it to the monastery of San Pier Maggiore in Florence. Together with the church, a series of rooms is also mentioned, including a cloister, where the canons were housed, i.e. a college of priests who lived in common and at the head of which was placed a prior. Even the rectory is mentioned in 1066. The facade of the church is extremely simple, with a stone portal. Above the portal is a pointed archivolt, with a niche inside which was placed a bust of St. Peter the Apostle, patron saint of the church. The perimeter walls are stripped of plaster and have a wall facing in filaretto d'alberese. The roof is supported by four exposed wooden trusses. An element that characterizes the entire building on the outside is the frame on which the gabled roof of the building rests: it is made up of a triple row of terracotta strips arranged in a herringbone pattern, probably from the Renaissance period.

I propose it because I photographed it this morning at dawn with a beautiful and particular light.
