The little Chapel of San Liberato, located not very far from the villa and dating back to the XVI century as well, was painted by Arcangelo Salimbeni in 1573 - a date which is featured on the inner wall of the archway.
The frescoes inside represent an important artistic event because of the quality and the importance of the topics dealt with. For this reason, the oratory of Curina is called “the little Sistine Chapel of Chianti”.
The section of the arc behind the altar features Christ the Judge surrounded by angels , while Hell, Purgatory and Paradise (of which remains only few traces) are respectively represented on the other three sides of the vaulted ceiling. A plaster cornice composed of recurring heads of little angels delimits a painted surface where scenes from the Old and New Testament are represented in a series of little paintings. Some of the scrolls which are placed under these stories describing the various representations are no longer legible.
