The Collegiate Church of Lucignano The Collegiate Church of Lucignano, entitled to Saint Michael Archangel, rises in the very heart of the historic centre at the top of a large staircase. It was built during the last years of the XVI-th century following a design of Orazio Porta. The interior of the Collegiate Church has just an aisle and collects fine art works. Among them, eight golden wooden statues portraying angels that were carved in 1706 by Giosafat Zaneboni and placed among the altars and in the presbytery.
