The Saint Mary of the Fraternity Church in Foiano della Chiana The Saint Mary of the Fraternity Church was probably built at the end of the XVI-th century and its building was later enlarged. The interior is finely decorated and rich of art works by different artists. Once entered the Saint Mary of the Fraternity Church it is possible to see its fine wooden coffered ceiling showing some carved golden chromatic elements as well as the choir loft and the organ. This latter shows on both sides tow angels. Along the walls of the church there are some carved walnut benches, showing some decoration of floral patterns. On the main altar it is possible to admire a glazed earthenware portraying an "Our Lady with the Child", the work of this latter was probably started by Luca della Robbia (1400-1482) and ended by Andrea della Robbia (1435-1525). In the apse, entirely decorated with golden stuccoes, it is possible to admire a wooden choir dating back to the XVIII-th century and four paintings by Camillo Sagrestani (1660-1731), portraying "Saints' Martyrs Stories".
