D	Davide Pizzi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Originariamente la chiesa era suffraganea della pieve a Morba, situata nelle vicinanze degli omonimi bagni. Nel secolo VI, i santi Giusto e Clemente, provenienti da Populonia, giunsero a Volterra transitando per queste terre. Nei luoghi in cui attualmente sorgono le rare chiese a loro dedicate, in passato erano presenti primitive sedi cristiane, anche d'epoca apostolica, nonché importanti "spedali", dove sostavano i "romei", ovvero i pellegrini diretti a Roma. Secondo l'ipotesi di don Mario Bocci, sarebbe confermata l'antica voce popolare, secondo la quale san Pietro sarebbe transitato fisicamente per queste terre più di una volta: nei luoghi del suo passaggio i fedeli edificavano chiese a lui dedicate; laddove invece sostava più a lungo, nascevano chiese intitolate al santissimo Salvatore, cioè a Gesù Cristo stesso, da Pietro diffusamente predicato. L'epoca di costruzione dell'attuale chiesa madre non è certa, ma avvenne probabilmente tra la fine del XI e i primi anni del XII secolo, all'interno di un nucleo abitato e incastellato denominato "Castronovo". Originally the church was a suffragan of the pieve a Morba, located near the homonymous bathrooms. In the VI century, the saints Giusto and Clemente, coming from Populonia, arrived in Volterra passing through these lands. In places where at present the rare churches dedicated to them, in the past there were early Christian sites, even in apostolic times, as well as important "hospitals", which would stop the "pilgrims", namely direct pilgrims to Rome. According to the hypothesis of Don Mario Bocci, it would have confirmed the ancient popular item, according to which St. Peter would be physically passed through these lands more than once: in the places it passes the faithful were building churches dedicated to him; whereas, on the other hand, churches stood longer, bearing the name of the Most Holy Savior, that is, of Jesus Christ himself, who was widely preached by Peter. The period of construction of the main church is uncertain, but it probably occurred between the end of the eleventh and early twelfth century, in a town called core and clubby "Castronovo".
