A little chilly but with soecial and suggestive acoustics

The church is mainly in Romanesque and Gothic style: it was built in 1377 and was consecrated in 1502. A mosaic is contained in the red brick facade, more precisely in the lunette above the portal. The interior is divided into a main nave and a left lateral nave added in the last century. The subsequent interventions and additions reflect the style of their era, such as baroque and late Gothic. The abbey is co-cathedral of the Diocese of Massa Marittima - Piombino. On the side of the building, there is a quadrangular cloister, with slender columns supporting the arches, and a diocesan museum of art and sacred objects.

The abbey is very old, dating back to the 13th century. In late Romanesque style, in its simplicity, it is certainly worth a visit.

A place rich in culture and spirituality in the historic center of Piombino. Beautiful cloister and museum of sacred objects. Ink often hosts photography exhibitions or concerts. Inside the church there is an organ that is played very well and accompanies all the salient moments of the Holy Mass. The small square in front of the church allows a glimpse of part of the tower of the town hall. In a moment you arrive at Piazza Bovio, which has a breathtaking panoramic view.

The church of Sant'Antimo is located in the historic center of Piombino and is practically its cathedral. Inside there are very dated works that reveal the antiquity of the place. To visit

It was built in the thirteenth century as a place of worship dedicated to St. Michael, It was enlarged in 1377 by the will of Pietro Gambacorti, lord of Pisa. It was built according to the forms of the late Romanesque with temperate Gothic influences and was consecrated to San Michele, perhaps in memory of the pre-existing complex mentioned above. As recalled by the plaque on the facade, the architect was the Pisan master Piero del Grillo. It was reconsecrated in 1502 and dedicated to Saint Augustine by Pope Alexander VI, who held a solemn ceremony there on the occasion of his visit to Piombino. The convent dates back to the last quarter of the 15th century, built to face the order of the Lord of Piombino, Iacopo III Appiani, who called the monastic orders inside the city walls. It, above the cloister and perpendicular to the pre-existing monastery, had a portico (now buffered) with round volutes on its facade. In 1806, with the suppression of the church of Sant'Antimo sopra i Canali, the church inherited its name and dedication. In the thirties of the twentieth century, the church underwent a substantial restoration: the facade was rearranged, with the addition of a questionable canopy to protect the mosaic on the portal, and the left aisle was built, thanks to the union of two ancient chapels. The red brick facade is surmounted by a series of hanging arches that break the severity of the building; lower down an oculus. The portal is surmounted by a lunette containing a mosaic depicting the archangel Michael, which dates back to 1937 and was executed by the Vatican mosaic school. The canopy is also an artefact from the 1930s, erected to protect the mosaic itself. On the façade there are some ancient coats of arms and, to the left of the portal, a plaque indicating the date of construction, the client and the builder Piero del Grillo. The interior of the church, originally with a single nave, has been the subject of many interventions over the centuries. On the walls of which the decorations with architectural parties made during the decade of the Baciocchi have recently been brought to light. The side aisle was created in the 1930s by unifying two ancient chapels. The altar, from the 17th-18th century, in Baroque style, is surmounted by 16th century candle holders with a wooden crucifix from the same period in the middle. The whole is framed by the pointed brick arch that delimits the main chapel and where there are also two niches that now house statues of modern saints. At the beginning of the left aisle there is a marble baptismal font in late Gothic style by Andrea Guardi (1470), with the Appiani coats of arms; The two holy water stoups are also due to this artist, one of them erected on an Etruscan cippus from the 5th century BC. with traces of reliefs with hunting scenes, and the two monuments on the counter-façade: to Emanuele and Fiammetta, sons of Jacopo IV Appiani (on the left) and the monument with aedicule to Jacopo (or Gherardo) Appiani (on the right). Among the paintings on the walls stand out a Trinity and saints by Francesco Vanni and the Death of San Giuseppe by Giuseppe Baldracco.
