The Tuscany is a region rich in abbeys and monasteries, buildings that are places of faith but at the same time constitute a priceless historical and artistic treasure. It's impossible not to be charmed in front of the simplicity and grandeur of these places, everlasting examples of balance between' man and nature, between matter and spirit.
Most of the abbeys of Tuscany were built during the Middle Ages, in solitary places then, today many of these have been incorporated in the urbanization of villages but retain the charm of that historical period. The simplicity that characterized the life of the monasteries is reflected in the simplicity of the architecture of these buildings, which retain a majesty of shapes and lines. Almost always, however, the esternal linearity let glimpse of the precious works of art that we can find inside , produced and jealously guarded by the monks over the centuries.
Cloisters enchanted surrounding gardens have been lost, but faded frescoes loads of messages and mysticism delight the curiosity of visitors who have the desire to learn about the history and art of an era mistreated by historians as obscurantist, but that has been the school of Italian Renaissance.
