A spiritual journey through the Greve in Chianti community is aimed at gaining greater knowledge of the development of religious art in a land strongly marked with a human presence and attention to the different forms of devotion that intimately penetrate all the social strata; not only priceless works of architecture, sculpture and art that are found in the most important worship buildings, but also numerous evidences of a relatively minor art that is traceable everwhere, from the isolated chapel in the forest, to the remote crosses on the top of the knolls and hills, to the votive tabernacles scattered along the road network.
Following a route on a quest to discover these works is of extreme interest and the variety of settlements would entail a longer account; we confine ourselves to suggesting two main routes, one across the valley of Greve, and the other along the ridge that separate it from the Valdarno (on the east) and from the valley of Pesa (val di Pesa) (on the west).

yes wonderful Tuscany Gabi. I have just returned from a week in San Gimignano where we stayed in the local 12th century monastery (we travelled with our local priest an augustinian and as this monastery is the home of the Augustinians we were allowed to stay there and worship etc) one great time. Hope everybody can make it to Tuscany sometime, breathtaking place
I am happy for you, Gabi! :)

Thanks John, for sharing your memories !
I remember it vaguely from a trip many many many years ago ... heading toward ROMA ...
Anyway, the Chianti wine is with me ... a good friend on the table.
