Walking Monte Oliveto Maggiore, Italian Medieval Abbey, Tuscany, Italy 4K

The Abbazia di Monte Oliveto Maggiore is a monastic complex of great beauty, in the tiny hamlet of Chiusure, near Asciano. The Abbey’s history is connected with the figure of the noble Giovanni de’ Tolomei who, with Patrizio Patrizi and Ambrogio Piccolomini, retired in 1313 to a monastic life in one of the Tolomei family’s properties at Accona
The Church is like an art gallery, almost a museum of sacred art, where you can admire splendid paintings and fine statues. From the church you go to the Great Cloister, completely frescoed by Luca Signorelli and by Antonio Bazzi, nicknamed Il Sodoma
