Marino Marini Museum

Marino Marini (1901–1980) was one of the most important Italian artists of the twentieth century, especially as a sculptor.

[2] The church was transformed in the 1980s by architects Lorenzo Papi and Bruno Sacchi, who renovated the building in line with a "dynamic" reading of the work of sculptural Marini, creating a dialogue between historical and contemporary materials existing buildings.

The interior of the sacellum is composed of a single burial chamber containing a marble slab placed against the southern wall.

The exterior is decorated with 30 different marble inlay intarsia set inside framed squares and are inspired by vegetation such as laurel and oak leaves or flowers, while some depict geometrical forms such as the eight or six-pointed star, designed by artist Leon Battista Alberti[4] (1401–1472).

The Marino Marini[5] sculptures are rugged and essential forms and among the most recurrent subjects the horse and rider, explored in a range of poses and moods, from fatigue, to danger, to eroticism.
