Consecrated in 1634, the building was built for Poor Clare nuns and an inscription states that an oratory called Santissima Annunziata was dedicated here. A monastery of the same name that was demolished by the Medici in 1577. The order and community members changed ownership several times. It gets its current name because of the ash-gray color of the community members' clothing. This is how it became known as the “Church of the Bigi”. The church is now used by the city of Grosseto for events.

The Church of the Bigi (or Santa Chiara, formerly Annunziata) is a deconsecrated church in the historic center of Grosseto.

The building is attached to the Poor Clares Convent, of which it was a place of worship. It overlooks Piazza Baccarini at the entrance to Strada Vinzaglio and partially delimits with its left side the square that opens in front of the nearby Church of San Francesco. Deconsecrated at the beginning of the 20th century, it is used for cultural activities and initiatives.
