The small church, named completely "Pieve dei Santi Vito e Modesto a Corsignano", was built from tuff during the 11th and 12th century. The cylindrical bell tower is probably the oldest part of the complex. I had found this wonderful church about a decade ago - and just had to return.

Silvius Piccolomini was baptized in this church, who being Pope Pius II later, renamed and remodeled Pienza, supressed many convents and abbey in Tuscany - but fortunately did not touch the Pieve di Corsignano.
