Trinità, with a painting of Pomarancio, the 15th century Church of Santa Maria della Fraternità, with a glazed terracotta attributed to Luca and Andrea della Robbia, and again, the Collegiate Church of San Martino, with a painting of the Coronation of the Virgin with Angels and Saints by Signorelli and a glazed terracotta, Madonna of the Girdle, attributed to Andrea della Robbia.
