Jacopo Sansovino (16th century). Crucifix

BORGO SAN LORENZO (pieve di San Lorenzo) – The large polychrome wooden Crucifix that stands at the centre of the presbytery comes from the closed-down church of St Francis, from which it probably arrived here after the Napoleonic suppression of 1808 and, according to recent studies is comparable to the elegant and powerful Michelangelo’s style by Jacopo Sansovino, in the early decades of the sixteenth century.
