The Church of the Santuccio or chiesa del Santuccio is a small, renaissance-style, Roman Catholic church on via Roma 69 in Siena, Italy, which once was part of the adjacent monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli, which was occupied since 1362 by Augustinian nuns.The façade by Annibale Bichi, also the benefactor, recalls works by Baldassarre Peruzzi. The interior houses a major altarpiece, a Madonna and Child with Saints begun on the year of his death by Francesco Vanni in 1610, continued by his half-brother, Ventura Salimbeni, who died in 1613, and only finally completed by Sebastiano Folli in 1614. The fresco decorations of the lateral walls were painted by Ventura Salimbeni, and depict episodes in the Life of San Galgano (1614).
