San Giorgio (Siena)

San Giorgio (Siena)

San Giorgio is a church in Siena, Tuscany, Italy.

The church is known from 1081, but of the medieval edifice only the Romanesque-Gothic bell tower remains today. The current appearance dates to the intervention of Pietro Cremoni, who finished its reconstruction in 1738.

The façade is characterized by two giant columns and the coat of arms of Cardinal Anton Felice Zondadari, patron of the restoration. In the interior, on the counterfaçade, is the polychrome funerary monument to the painter Francesco Vanni (1656). Vanni himself provided the canvas with the "Crucifix with Fra Matteo Guerra", while a "Rendezvous on the Calvary" is by Raffaello Vanni. The transept houses the tombs of two member of the Zondadari family.
