Tuscany Siena Asciano S. Francesco, this is my Italy, the italian country of visual history, Romanesque-Gothic church and cloister dating from 13th-14th centuries, and somewhat restored in the 20th cent. The interior reflects the style of the 16th century with its classicized pedimental motifs in the architectural detailing. Of note is a terracotta sculptural group by the school of della Robbia, and a fresco cycle of the life and death of Christ by Giovanni da Asciano. There are miscellaneous frescos by artists from the Sienese school of the 17th century. Photo 1982
