Already dedicated to San Biagio, the church was the seat of a company that assisted the convicts and foundlings, which in 1896 was transformed into the Brotherhood of Mercy.

There are two wooden sculptures representing Sant'Antonio Abate and San Biagio, attributed to Antonio Pardini and Jacopo della Quercia respectively. The statues are considered works of the highest quality produced in the Lucca area between the end of the 14th century and the beginning of the 15th century.

Noteworthy include the Coronation of Mary and the Saints (1550) by Lorenzo Cellini, the elegant eighteenth-century choir loft with early nineteenth-century pipe organ (enlarged in 1860 by Odoardo Landucci), and the murals in the chapel of the 'Addolorata attributed to Luigi Ademollo.

Dating from 1993, the two large fresco panels, the Gate of Paradise and the Gate of Hell, are the work of Fernando Botero, a Colombian artist who usually resides in the city of Versilia for a few months a year.

First mentioned in the 14th century, the church of Sant'Antonio Abate, or San Biagio, is located on Via Mazzini.

It features a three-nave interior with round arches, cross vaults in the side aisles, and a central nave with trussed vaults. It houses polychrome wooden statues of Saints Biagio and Anthony Abate in the apse; a 16th-century diponto of the Madonna del Carmine and Saints; and two large frescoes by Colombian artist Fernando Botero from 1993.
