This parish, dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, is situated on the right of the provincial road Lauretana Antica, 5 km before Asciano. It is called “Pievina” probably because of the smallness of the church or because of the fact that it was joined to the parish of S. Vito in Versuris. The latter, between Vescona and Rapolano, is mentioned since the year 715 in the famous controversy among the bishops of Siena and those of Arezzo. One of its owners, the counts of the Scialenga, in 1023, gave the property of the church to the Abbey of the Berardenga, while some years later, in 1029, the parish of Saint John in Vescova, together with the other one of Saint Vito in Versuris, are again the centre of a dispute between the episcopate of Arezzo and Siena. At present, only two parish-church belong to the Pievina of Vescona: Saint Fiorenzo in Vescona and the Abbey of the Saints Jacopo and Cristofano in Roffeno.
