Saturnia (Italian: [saˈturnja]) is a spa town in Tuscany in north-central Italy that has been inhabited since ancient times.

Legend has it that he grew tired of the constant wars of humans, and sent a thunderbolt to earth that created a magic spring of warm sulphurous water which would pacify mankind.

These tombs were originally covered by tumuli, which have now disappeared, so that George Dennis, author of Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria, mistook them for megalithic remains.

The earliest historical records related to the church date back to 1188, but the current building is due to a restoration of 1933.

The church holds the famous Madonna and Child fresco attributed to Benvenuto di Giovanni at the end of the 15th century.
