However, the fa\u00e7ade remained unfinished: even today, only the lower part is visible, an element that lends the building a particular charm, suspended between design and reality.<\/p>\n<p>The main portal, created in 1715 by Pietro Antonio Morozzi, is one of the church\u2019s most significant decorative features, embellishing the entrance with simple yet refined lines. The spectacular staircase leading to the collegiate church is attributed to Andrea Pozzo, who is also credited with designing the bell tower, helping to define the building\u2019s distinctive silhouette against the urban landscape.<\/p>\n<p>The Collegiate Church of San Michele Arcangelo fits perfectly into the architectural fabric of Lucignano, a village renowned for its concentric layout and medieval urban plan. Even today, it remains an important religious and historical landmark, capable of recounting, through its forms and its unfinished features, the artistic and cultural history of the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the Collegiate Church of San Michele Arcangelo in Lucignano: a Renaissance church with an unfinished facade, a portal dating from 1715 and a spectacular Baroque staircase<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":236102,"template":"","village-conntection":[50787],"what-to-see-region-and-provinces":[76211,76210],"what-to-see-category":[30159],"class_list":["post-309065","what-to-see","type-what-to-see","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","village-conntection-lucignano-it","what-to-see-region-and-provinces-arezzo-en","what-to-see-region-and-provinces-tuscany","what-to-see-category-place-of-cult"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see\/309065","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/what-to-see"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see\/309065\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"village-conntection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/village-conntection?post=309065"},{"taxonomy":"what-to-see-region-and-provinces","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see-region-and-provinces?post=309065"},{"taxonomy":"what-to-see-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see-category?post=309065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
