The church and convent of the '''Santissima Annunziata''' (Holiest Virgin of the Annunciation) is a [[Baroque architecture|Baroque]]-style, [[Roman Catholic]] church located in [[Pistoia]], region of [[Tuscany]], Italy. The convent presently functions as a warehouse.
==History and Description==
Priests of the [[Servite order]] arrived to Pistoia by 1241, and by 1270-1271 construction of a convent and church had begun. Intially, the servites were affiliated with [[San Pietro Maggiore, Pistoia|San Pietro Maggiore]] in town, but by 1296, a new larger church at the site was underway. The original consecration to ''Santa Maria de' Servi'' was altered in 1537 to the'' Santissima Annunziata''. In the 17th century, the church was refurbished and decorated with Baroque frescoes and stucco. In 1786, the convent was suppressed by the Bishop Ricci, but recruited again as a monastery by 1794. In 1810, the Napoleonic forces again suppressed the convent. The church was made into a parish until 1856, when the Servites briefly returned, only to be again suppressed in Pistoia this time by the Italian kingdom, turning the convent into barracks. The cloister retains 17th-century frescoes depicting the history of the Servite order.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2YgaPBm Diocese of Pistoia], entry on parish history.</ref><ref>[https://ift.tt/2Tyg5wQ Comune of Pistoia], entry on church.</ref>
An inventory in 1821 listed the church as containing the following works:
*''Virgin of the Annunciation'' (1590) by [[Bastiano Veronese]] for the altar of the Peraccini Family
*''The Visitation'' by [[Giuseppe Giusti]] for the altar of the Gori Family
*''Madonna dei Dolori'' by [[Pietro Cremoncini]] with insturments of Passion by [[Pietro Dandini]] for the altar of the Puccini Family
*''Presentation at the Temple'' (1577) by Bastiano Veronese for the altar of the Baldinotti Family
*Main altarpiece was attributed to [[Leonardo Malatesta]]
*''Nativity of Mary'' by [[Cigoli]] for altar of the Baldinotti family
*''Immaculate Conception'' by [[Tommaso Redi]] for the altar of the Convent
*Frescoes in superior register with Blessed Servites by Niccolò Nannetti, those in the choir by Giovanni Ferretti.
In the cloister, the six frescoed lunettes (1601-1602) before the sacristy we painted by [[Bernardino Poccetti]]; the six frescoed lunettes (1637) before the refectory we painted by [[Francesco Montelatici]] (Cecco Bravo); while above windows are frescoes by [[Filippo Cremoncini]].
Other frescoes in the convent were completed by [[Alessio Gimignani]], [[Giovanni Martinelli]], [[Giovanni Domenico Pestrini]] father and son.
