This ancient church, begun in 1268, and featuring a mixture of Romanesque and Baroque architecture, is famous as the location of the Brancacci Chapel which houses the outstanding Renaissance frescoes of Masaccio and Masolino da Panicale, later finished by Filippino Lippi. These frescos are considered the first masterwork of the Italian Renaissance.
