ART AND CULTURE

From the alleyways of the village, where Gambassi Castle once stood, rings the bell struck by Membrino, a small wooden puppet perched atop the bell tower in Piazza Roma.

From here, it’s only a few minutes’ walk and it’s countryside.
A few minutes and you come to the splendid thousand-year-old parish church of Santa Maria a Chianni, a Romanesque jewel about which Sigeric of Canterbury, the official chronicler of the Via Francigena, also wrote.

To the north, San Miniato di Pisa and to the south, the towers of San Gimignano.
And then, still along the paths of spirituality, a few kilometres from the town, the Jerusalem of San Vivaldo is a system of small chapels where one of Tuscany’s still little-known treasures can be discovered: a cycle of terracotta sculptures inspired by the Passion of Christ.
