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).
