pittore seneseMatteo di Giovanni; una pregevole opera plastica del
Sansovino invetriata da A. Della Robbia rappresentante una Madonna col
bambino e Santi Agostino, Romualdo, Lucia ed Agata; un'altra pala del
Sansovino con i Santi Lorenzo, Rocco e Sebastiano; un Presepe;
un Sant'Antonio; statua in terracotta di scuola tardo-robbiana; e
infine il Miracolo di Santa Chiara, opera data e firmata dal pittore
aretino S. Castellucci.
Saint Clare’s Church was built in 1652 adjoining the Cassero. It
became private property in the eighteenth century and is now closed.
Some works from Sant’Agata’s church (destroyed) and from the Society
of Saint Anthony were transferred to Saint Clare’s at the end of the
seventeenth century. Two side panels of a triptych by the Sienese master
Matteo di Giovanni, depicting Saint Apollonia, Sigismondo, Rocco and
Ansano; a valuable high relief by Sansovino glazed by Della Robbia
showing the Virgin Mary with the holy Child and Saint Augustine,
Romualdo, Lucia and Agata; an altar-piece by Sansovino showing Saint
Lorenzo, Rocco and Sebastiano; a Christmas crib; a terracotta statue of
Saint Anthony of the late Robbia school, are all kept in Saint Clare’s,
along with a panting by S. Castellucci, The miracle of Saint Clare.
