The church of the Corpus Christi( more properly, church of the Corpus Christi’s Confraternity, also known as Church of the Confraternity) is a sacred building in Rapolano Terme. The front is plain with a simple portal in travertine and lunette-window. On the right wall, a sixteenth-century-fresco, referable to the studio of Girolamo di Benvenuto, with the Madonna with Christ Child and the Saints Giovanni Battista and Girolamo. On the same wall it has been built a frame in “pietra serena” of Renaissance style which held a relief of the Madonna with Christ Child, disappeared for quite a time. The high altar in stucco holds the Last Supper, an eighteenth-century-copy of a painting by Pieter Paul Rubens. Of great importance is the seventeenth-century-altar, decorated on sides with two statues in stucco, the Virgin Mary and the Announcing Angel and, in the middle, the Madonna of the Rosary, by Francesco Bartalini; at the bottom, there are the Fifteenth Mysteries of the Rosary, painted on tablet by the same artist.
