History

Before being under the rule of Florence, the medieval town of Chianni was fought over by the bishop of Volterra and the Republic of Pisa.[1] One of the largest attractions is the Chapel della Compagnia della Santissima Annuziata, hosting frescoes by Giovanni Battista Tempesti.[2] The parish church of San Donato was rebuilt in 1810 after an earthquake; an 1896 survey notes altarpieces by Aurelio Lomi depicting a Madonna and a Nativity.[3]
