Museo di Pittura Murale in San Domenico

Frommer's Review

Inside this barnlike Dominican church finished by Giovanni Pisano in 1322 is a Niccolò Gernini Crucifix on the second altar on the right, a pair of Matteo Rosselli works (Madonna and St. Filippo Neri on the second altar on the right and an Annunciation on the fifth altar), and an Il Poppi Crucifix Speaking to St. Thomas Aquinas on the fourth altar on the right. The chapter house off the cloister has some excellent 15th-century fresco bits by Pietro di Minato rescued from under the whitewash in the 1980s.

Also housed here are the 14th- and 15th-century altarpieces from the Museo Civico and the Museo di Pittura Murale. The latter contains works, many of them damaged, by Niccolò Gerini, Pietro di Miniato, Agnolo Gaddi, and a nice Taddeo Gaddi San Domenico, along with anonymous 15th-century graffiti decorations saved from the gardens of the Palazzo Vaj.
