San Domenico, Pistoia

San Domenico is a Romanesque and Gothic-style, Roman Catholic church located in the Piazza of the same name, with a north flank of the nave parallel to Corso Silvani Fedi, in Pistoia, region of Tuscany, Italy.

There is no documentation to substantiate the rumors by later art historians including Giorgio Vasari that either the two Dominican order brothers Sisto and Ristoro, architects of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, or that Giovanni Pisano, were at work here.

Traces of late 13th century frescoes are found in the convent and church, some attributed possibly to Coppo di Marcovaldo and his son Salerno.

The tomb of the jurist Filippo Lazzari (first on right), and of the Blessed Lorenzo da Ripafratta, are attributed to Bernardo and Antonio Rossellino.

The church also has frescoes depicting the Life of the Magdalen, painted by Ulisse Ciocchi, Michele Cinganelli, and Giovanni Martinelli: all pupils of Bernardino Poccetti.
