Detail InformationEdit

The Cathedral of Saint Romulus is a roman catholic church in Fiesole, Tuscany, central Italy. Dedicated to Saint Romulus of Fiesole, the Romanesque edifice was founded in Fiesole in 1028, when bishop Jacopo the Bavarian, decided to move the cathedral within the city’s walls, dedicating it to St. Romulus, who had introduced the Christianism in Fiesole. It is the see of the Diocese of Fiesole.
The church is on the basilica plan with a nave and two aisles separated by stone columns with capitals which are decorated with figures and animals. It has a raised presbytery over the crypt and trussed ceiling. The picturesque battlemented campanile was built in to 1213. The church was restored in 1256.
The interior is not much decorated, aside from the marble altar (1273) and two frescoes, depicting St. Benedict (c. 1420) and St. Sebastian by Pietro Perugino (late 15th century). In the presbytery is a polyptych of the Three stories of Saint Nicholas, by Bicci di Lorenzo, commissioned in 1450. In the Salutati Chapel is the funerary monument of bishop Leonardo Salutati, executed by Mino da Fiesole. In the Canon’s Chapel is a marble altar by Andrea Ferrucci (1492-1494).
