Chiesa di San Agostino


Built in the 1460s but given a baroque makeover two centuries later, this little church has a Matteo di Giovanni triptych over its altar that is significant for two reasons. The first is related to the unusual iconography of its central panel, which shows a warrior-like Madonna fighting a devil. The second, sadly, is that its other two panels were stolen in the 1990s and have yet to be located.
