The Our Immaculate Lady Church in Rinignano sull'Arno The Our Immaculate Lady Church was built in the middle of the XX-th century on a design of the architect Raffaello Franci, who wanted to reproduce the typical Renaissance features. The interior of the church is on the plant of a Latin cross, with three aisles surmounted by arches standing on stone-made columns. The interior is rich of fine art works, some of them coming from the Romanic Saint Leonino Parish.
