In spite of the hostile attitude of the great majority of the bishops, Bishop de Ricci issued on July 31 a summons to a diocesan synod, which was solemnly opened on the September 18. It was attended by 233 beneficed secular and 13 regular priests, and decided with practical unanimity on a series of decrees which, had it been possible to carry them into effect, would have involved a drastic alteration of the Church on the Febronianism lines advocated by Febronius .

It is dedicated to St. Andrew the Apostle , and includes the famous Pulpit of St. Andrew by Giovanni Pisano . The church probably dates from as early as the 8th century, though in a smaller size. In the 12th century it was extended in length. The fa ade shows the typical bichrome marble decoration of the Pistoiese Romanesque architecture Romanesque style, executed in the mid 12th century by Gruamonte and his brother Adeodatus, who was also responsible for the sculptures and for the portal s architrave . The latter depicts the Voyage of the Magi , a rare theme whose use here derives from the fact that the church was located on the Via Francigena , by which, in the Middle Ages, the pilgrims reached Rome from France . The decorated capitals are by a Master Henry, while the small statue of St. Andrew in the lunette over the portal is reminiscent of Giovanni Pisano s style. In the late 15th century the upper fa ade was finished and the central nave was vaulted. The frescoes in the apse date to 1506, executed by Bernardino del Signoraccio. Today only the central part, with the Father supported by Four Angels , survives. The altars in the aisles were added in the 17th century, with paintings by artists such as Cristofano Allori and Girolamo Scag.

Paolo Lanfranchi da Pistoia or Pistoja lang oc Paulo Ianfranchi de Pistoia fl. 1282&ndash 1295 was a noted Italian people Italian poet who wrote in both the Italian language Italian and Occitan languages. He is thus sometimes described as a troubadour . A native of Pistoia he was a major cultural figure of the Duecento there his sonnet s have been praised for their originality. Biography Paolo is first encountered in the records in Bologna in 1282. ref name bertoni118 Bertoni, 118. ref He was present for an act granted in favour of Pistoia on 1 February that year. He also testified alongside Forisio di Jacopo in a document of 13 October, and was still at Bologna on 21 January 1283, when he witnessed a mutuum contracted between two men of Pistoia, Gerardino Bruno and Pucino Pepi. In 1291 he was back in Pistoia, where he was sentenced as guilty for the crime of striking cum una spada malvagia vetita pro forma statutorum with a sword in malice a certain Orellio Megliori on the head, ex dicta percussione multus sanguis extivit from which wound exited much blood . ref name bertoni118 He was sent into exile and was in Bologna again in 1295. It is therefore certain that if, as some historians have believed, Paolo spent some time at the court of Crown of Aragon Aragon in Spain , it must have been spent between 1283 and 1291, most probably 1283&ndash 1285 if at all. ref name bertoni119 Bertoni, 119. ref Italian poetry Paolo wrote seven surviving sonnets in Italian.
