Santi Jacopo e Filippo, Pisa explained

Santi Jacopo e Filippo or Santi Iacopo e Filippo (or San Iacopo in Orticaia) is an ancient church found in Via San Michele degli Scalzi in Pisa, Italy.[1]

Documents exist as belonging to an Augustinian abbey by 1110,[2] but it is believed that a church was situated at the site just after the year 1000.[3] The Romanesque architecture includes a half-finished facade. Restored in the 17th and 18th century, the interior was frescoed by Giuseppe Melani and his brother Francesco with stories of the saints.
