SCARPERIA (Propositura dei Santi Jacopo e Filippo) – Proceeding along the left wall there is a second altar made of stone with similar architectural lines. On this altar there are two coats of arms of the Landi family. In fact, the Augustinian Friar, who donated the altar in 1727 according to the inscription, was himself a member of the Landi Family. The painting on it is obviously not relevant to the altar itself and its original location is still unknown. It was painted by Giovanni Balducci, who was also known as the Cosci and was active between the second half of the Sixteenth century and the early decades of the Seventeenth century. This painting shows the theme of the Annunciation, echoing in its design, composition, and color range, the very same style of the first Florentine Mannerism as well as Raphael.
