Address: via della Croce 64
The XIX-century tabernacle is a part of a vaster decorative system, which includes the entire facade of the house. It was made by Raffaello Agresti, who belonged to the Agresti family of Impruneta. The tabernacle has a series of polychrome majolica medallions framed by flower and fruit swags, on the Della Robbia model. The one in the centre has the Agresti coat of arms and the dates 1864 and 1896. The arched niche is framed by a classical aedicule with composite capitals, which support the trabeation, with the inscription “ego mater pulchrae dilectionins”. Inside the niche there is the terracotta Virgin with child and San Giovannino which is drawn on the Madonna del Cardellino by Raphael (1506), now in the Uffizzi Gallery.
