Chiesa SS Jacopo e Filippo - Certaldo Alto - Toscana

Source: Willem Vandenameele

Description

Questa chiesa romanica custodisce le spoglie dello scrittore e poeta Giovanni Boccaccio e di Giulia della Rena, patrona di Certaldo. Attiguo alla chiesa è un monastero e un convento che, dal 2001, ospita il Museo di arte sacra del luogo.
La chiesa fu edificata probabilmente alla fine del XII secolo, contemporaneamente al nucleo più antico di Certaldo alto.

L'interno è molto sobrio e quasi privo di qualsiasi tipo di decorazione a causa del restauro effettuato nel XIX secolo quando furono rimossi tutti gli intonaci e gli affreschi.

Al centro della chiesa si trova una lapide in marmo bianco raffigurante Boccaccio, ma questa pietra risale ai primi del '900 e serve solo a commemorare il più famoso abitante di Certaldo. I resti del Boccaccio si trovano sotto la tegola a forma di diamante in testa alla lapide.
