The church of San Lorenzo is a sacred building in Percenna, near Buonconvento. The church is the most ancient place of the Christian devotion in Buonconvento, which has risen, according to the tradition, in the same place where it rose a pagan temple. After several interventions which have deeply changed the original structure, now it shows the internal division in the central nave and in the lateral niches, which is very damaged in the left part for a static subsidence. The architectonic design dates back to the restoration of 1830. On the main altar it is exposed the articulated eighteenth-century processional machine, in wood carved with volutes, gilded and painted with a light blue, which held the canvas by Matteo di Giovanni with the “Madonna with Christ Child and the angels”, today kept in the Museum. On the left side, in walling, there is the sepulchral grave by Andrea Minucci.
