Church, Medici Villa, Cerreto Guidi, Tuscany, Italy
Pieve di San Leonardo Church, seen from a loggia outside the chapel, in the Medici Villa of Cerreto Guidi, built 1555-75 for Cosimo I de Medici as a hunting lodge, in the village of Cerreto Guidi, Tuscany, Italy. The architects who remodelled the building in the 16th century were Bernardo Buontalenti, Davide Fortuni and Alfonso Parigi. The villa was owned by the Medicis until the 18th century when passed to the Habsburg-Lorraines. It is now a museum, the Museo Storico della Caccia e del Territorio, or Museum of Hunting and Territory, and forms part of the Medici UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
