Abbazia di Monte Oliveto Maggiore

Reviewed By Toscoantico - Pisa, Italy

With my family we visited the abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore in September 2020 during our holidays in Val d'Orcia and this place, together with others such as the Temple of San Biagio, the Chapel of Vitaleta, the abbey of Sant ' Antimo, the gentle hills with the little big gems on the top, will remain one of the most beautiful images in my mind. The abbey is located in a pine forest with beautiful surroundings, the structure itself is very beautiful and the atmosphere is very serene. The abbey is still functioning according to the Benedictine rule and therefore it is not possible to visit it entirely but the part that can be visited is definitely worth. In addition, the visit is free, a non-binding offer may be requested. The Cloister of the Abbey contains the most important work of art of the complex, a cycle of frescoes on the stories of San Benedetto painted both by Luca Signorelli (the first 8 lunettes 1497-1498) and by Antonio Bazzi known as Sodoma, a curious nickname , (the remaining 26 lunettes painted after 1505). You can also visit the church, the refectory, the library and the pharmacy of the monastery plus a small exhibition of paintings from various periods. Serenity, History, Art and Harmony, Val d'Orcia at its best.
