Santa Cristina, Pisa

Santa Cristina is a Neoclassical-style, Roman Catholic church in Pisa, region of Tuscany, Italy.

[1] The Count Luigi Archinto, member of a prominent Milanese family, had moved to Pisa in the late 18th century, and in 1814, he had acquired the Agnello palace adjacent to this church.

He commissioned the works from the engineer Francesco Riccetti, who also restored the bell tower.

The first altar on the right has canvas by Domenico Passignano, depicting St Catherine Receiving the Stigmata, and a 19th-century copy of Enrico di Tedice's Crucifix (13th century).

In this spot, with the earlier crucifix, was the one before which, in 1375, St Catherine of Siena, kneeling in prayer, had received the stigmata.
