San Francesco, Pisa

Local nameChiesa di San Francesco
LocationSan Francesco, Pisa, Italy

San Francesco de' Ferri is a church in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy.

Mentioned for the first time in a document from 1233, the church was rebuilt starting from 1261 by will of archbishop Federico Visconti. The church was under the patronage of the Pisane noble families, who owned a series of private chapels for their burials; the Franciscan were limited to the administration of the cult. The works, directed by Giovanni di Simone, ended in 1270 and included also the slender bell tower.

The marble façade is from 1603. The interior was revamped in the same age, with paintings by Jacopo da Empoli, Passignano and Santi di Tito. In the transept are frescoes by Taddeo Gaddi, Galileo Chini and an altar frontal by Tommaso Pisano.
