Pienza - Pieve di Corsignano

Pienza - Pieve di Corsignano
The small 12th century church was built from tuff. Silvius Piccolomini was baptized in this church, who being Pope Pio II later, renamed and remodeled Pienza - but fortunately did not touch the Pieve di Corsignano. Here is the lintel of the main entrance, seeming very mythological and fantastic to me. A twotailed siren in the middle, another onetailed left, holding a kind of violin, a "beast" whispers into her ear. Maybe even licks the ear. Two ladies dancing (?) on the right side - and another beasts, whispering or licking.On boths sides under the lintel (not on the photo) are two very weathered and partly destroyed exhibitionistic figures. Male left - femal right.
