The miracle was confirmed by Bishop Niccol\u00f2 Pandolfini, and the important families of Pistoia decided to build the sanctuary to honor the Madonna. The fresco is attributed by some to Bartolomeo Cristiani, but was perhaps due to a local painter from Pistoia.[2]Originally the site had a small church or chapel, Santa Maria Forisportae, outside of the early medieval city walls of Pistoia. Initially plans to enlarge the church were commissioned from Giuliano da Sangallo, but when he left Tuscany, the design was completed by Ventura Vitoni, who began construction of the octagonal church in 1495, and work continued until his death in 1522. In 1563, the Grand Duke Cosimo I Medici entrusted completion to Giorgio Vasari, who elaborated the tall dome.[3][4] The main altar was designed in 1579 by Pietro Tacca. The church was consecrated in 1582. The facade remains incomplete.The 59-meter-high (194\u00a0ft) dome was completed in 1569, but its completion had been an arduous and prolonged task, and soon after, cracks appeared in the structure, requiring Vasari to add chains to gird the structure. But concerns about the stability emerged, and Bartolomeo Ammanati was called to create further reinforcement, concerned about the weight of the lantern, to the structure by Vasari. However, for centuries, problems continued, requiring further refurbishments well into the 21st century.[5]In 1931, Pope Pius XI elevated the church to the status of minor basilica.[6]Description[edit]The octagonal layout of the nave is more typical in devotional shrines, typically attended by individuals with a personal request, rather than the linear naves of churches belonging to the friars or Dominicans, where sermons to an audience were more important. The vertical red-tiled dome on the outside resembles a smaller version of Brunelleschi’s dome for the Cathedral of Florence].An inventory in 1821 listed the church as containing the following works:[7]See also[edit]Gallery[edit]St Jacob Apostle by GeriniAdoration of the Magi by VanniAdoration of the Shepherds by SorriPutti by Marcacci on Lafri balustradeSuperior architrave of main altar by TaccaArch frescoes by school of PassignanoPoet’s wreath awarded to Corilla Olimpica (1778)Walk to Calvary by FerrettiReferences[edit]^ Fresco painted circa 1370.^ Millard Meiss, Painting in Florence and Siena after the Black Death 1979; ISBN\u00a00-691-00312-2; pages 136f^ Pistoia e il suo territorio: Pescia e i suoi dintorni: guida del forestiero, by Giuseppe Tigri, Tipografia Cino, Pistoia (1853): page 213-214.^  David Bershad, Carolina Mangone, Irving Hexham, The Christian Travelers Guide to Italy 2001 ISBN\u00a00-310-22573-6 ^ [The Basilica della Madonna Dell’Umilt\u00e0 in Pistoia: Survey Analysis and Documentation by Grazia Tucci, Alessia Nobile, and Maria Riemma.
