It suffered severe damage in the floods of 1333 when the Arno overflowed. The gift of the <strong>relic of a tooth of the martyr San Lorenzo <\/strong>is recorded in an epigraph now walled in the interior of the pieve, in the wall under the choir loft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Near the entrance is an octagonal immersion baptismal font made of Verrucana stone (11th-12th century). The structure, made of pietra serena stone and masonry painted in imitation marble, is characterised by two half-columns and a broken tympanum, with the monogram of Christ in the centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the left side, detached from the body of the church, and in correspondence with the apse, rises the 19th-century bell tower: a square-based tower with a high belfry equipped with four single-lancet windows to house as many bells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearby are two interesting villas, which are privately owned and therefore cannot be visited. The first is <strong>Villa Ruschi,<\/strong> dating back to the 17th century, characterised inside by a large, luxurious stone and marble staircase. The other is <strong>Villa Barasaglia, <\/strong>later Gambini, a luxurious residence hidden among modern buildings, built in 1818 on the occasion of Teresa Barasaglia&#8217;s wedding to the nobleman Gherardo Gherardi Del Testa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":50122,"parent":0,"template":"","tipo-attrazione":[1457],"filter-who":[1453,1455,1454,1452],"filter-time":[1448],"class_list":["post-52250","attrazione","type-attrazione","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipo-attrazione-attrazione-cultura-en","filter-who-couple","filter-who-family","filter-who-adults","filter-who-single","filter-time-1-hour"],"acf":[],"wpml_current_locale":"en_US","wpml_translations":[{"locale":"it_IT","id":50120,"post_title":"Cascina | San Lorenzo alle Corti","href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/cascina-pieve-di-san-lorenzo-alle-corti\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/attrazione\/52250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/attrazione"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attrazione"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tipo-attrazione","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tipo-attrazione?post=52250"},{"taxonomy":"filter-who","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-who?post=52250"},{"taxonomy":"filter-time","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-time?post=52250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
