    In Castiglion Fiorentino, just outside the city walls, stands the Church of the Madonna della Consolazione. Its history stems from a sacred image of the Madonna and Child, attributed to Luca Signorelli, once kept in a tabernacle along the road.

    Tradition holds that Eleonora di Toledo, wife of Cosimo I de' Medici, regained her sight by praying before that image. In gratitude, she financed the construction of the church, which began in 1565 and was completed only decades later.

    Inside, in a side chapel, the original fresco of the Madonna is still preserved.

    On the slopes of the village stood, in the Middle Ages, a small Majesty that housed an image of the Madonna with Child traditionally attributed to Luca Signorelli. Eleonora di Toledo, wife of Cosimo I de' Medici, regained her sight by praying in front of the tabernacle and made a significant sum of money available for the construction of a temple in homage to the miraculous image. The first stone of the Church of Madonna della Consolazione was laid in 1565, and the works continued for about forty years.
