About
It was in 1516, during Pope Leone X's stop in Incisa, that the Franciscans obtained from him the permission to build a new convent and a church where they already ran a hospice, provided that it was dedicated to Saints Cosma and Damiano, the patrons of the Medici. To this end, the Castellani family gave the necessary plot of land and the Cambini family financed the enterprise, so that today we can see the coats of arms of the two families placed on the facade of the church. The Church of Saints Cosma and Damiano was built where, already at the end of the 13th century, there was a parish dedicated to the Virgin Mary and a cloister of nuns, who gave assistance to wayfarers and pilgrims.
