Beautiful park about pinocchio!!!! Realky nice experience!!! Very poetic and thanks God it's not disneyland!!!
Park is very run down and unloved. Gardens over the road are one of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen and worth the ticket price alone.
(Translated by Google) It probably needs a little more attention. The metal statues are beautiful, but the pirate ship is falling apart. The paths could use some swept and tidying every now and then. The maze is practically nonexistent, with dry vegetation. The old rides are beautiful to look at, and the souvenir area before the exit has empty shelves and display cases. My daughter is still happy to have been there. (Original) Probabilmente avrebbe bisogno di un pochino più di cura. Belle le statue in metallo,la nave dei pirati cade a pezzi i vialetti andrebbero spazzati e ripuliti ogni tanto. Il labirinto è praticamente inesistente la vegetazione e secca.Le vecchie giostre belle da vedere, zona souvenir prima dell'uscita con scaffali e vetrinetta vuoti. La mia bimba è cmq felice di esserci stata.
Unfortunately it was closed even though it should have been open. The city is pretty dead and there's nothing else to do.
(Translated by Google) A wonderful experience that took me back to when I used to take my son there. It probably needs a little more attention. The avenues need cleaning, some attractions like the pirate ship need renovation. The old rides are beautiful to look at, but they're not in operation. The ticket price is perhaps a little high, but if it helps restore the park to its former glory, so be it! Glad to have returned after so many years. (Original) Bella esperienza che mi ha riportato indietro nel tempo quando ci portavo mio figlio. Probabilmente avrebbe bisogno di un pochino più di cura.I viali ripuliti alcune attrazioni come la nave dei pirati da ristrutturare Le vecchie giostre belle da vedere ma non in funzione. Forse il prezzo del biglietto un po' alto ma se servisse a fare tornare al vecchio splendore ben venga!! Contenta di esserci ritornata dopo tanti anni.
(Translated by Google) Pinocchio Park – A Blast from the Past Visiting Pinocchio Park in Collodi was like stepping back in time: the park is virtually identical to when I visited as a child, 40-50 years ago. Unfortunately, there are no significant innovations, and the ticket price is still steep. The bar and restaurant were closed during our visit, but the restrooms were clean and tidy. The only real attraction that thrilled the kids was the zipline, which was truly fun and well-designed. Also noteworthy is the courtesy and friendliness of the staff, always available. A fascinating experience for those seeking memories of the past, but one that needs updating to be truly competitive and attractive for today's families. (Original) Parco di Pinocchio – un tuffo nel passato Visitare il Parco di Pinocchio a Collodi è stato come tornare indietro nel tempo: il parco è praticamente identico a quando ci sono stato da bambino, 40/50 anni fa. Purtroppo non si notano innovazioni di rilievo e il prezzo del biglietto è comunque pieno. Il bar e il ristorante erano chiusi durante la visita, mentre i bagni erano puliti e in ordine. L’unica vera attrazione che ha entusiasmato i bambini è stata la teleferica/zip-line, davvero divertente e ben fatta. Da sottolineare anche la cortesia e la simpatia del personale, sempre disponibile. Un’esperienza suggestiva per chi cerca ricordi del passato, ma che avrebbe bisogno di rinnovarsi per essere davvero competitiva e attrattiva per le famiglie di oggi.
(Translated by Google) Worst park ever! Sounds promising, but it's completely run-down, dirty, unkempt, and not well-maintained! The climbing park is completely broken, the playground is broken and dirty. Most of it was closed, only two carousels were in operation, and they were complete junk! Tickets are completely overpriced; the park isn't worth the money! A complete tourist rip-off! The only nice thing was the butterflies you could see. (Original) Schlimmster Park ever! Klingt vielversprechend, aber ist völlig heruntergekommen, dreckig, ungepflegt und nicht instand gehalten! Kletterpark total kaputt, Spielplatz defekt und dreckig. Das meiste war geschlossen, nur 2 Karrusselle in Betrieb und völlig Schrott! Tickets völlig überteuert, der Park ist kein Geld wert! Reine Touristenabzocke! Das einzig schöne waren die Schmetterlinge, welche man betrachten konnte.
(Translated by Google) Warning: Worst park we've ever visited! We were so excited to visit Pinocchio Park – and were bitterly disappointed. The entire park is in a terrible state: dilapidated attractions from long ago, many broken, crumbling buildings, and a labyrinth so overgrown it's almost impossible to enter. The children's playground? Broken and dangerous – absolutely unsuitable for children. Everywhere is dirty, unkempt, and neglected. There's no sign of beautiful greenery or a well-maintained ambiance. The staff is unfriendly and seems annoyed, as if visitors are just a burden. Particularly brazen: The interactive museum, supposedly a highlight, is only open in winter. During the peak summer season, when families travel there specifically, it remains closed – a complete rip-off. The entrance fees are absolutely outrageous. Far too high for what you get. Tourists are being ripped off here. Our conclusion: Stay away from this place. Pinocchio Park is dirty, broken, overpriced, and a complete disappointment. A warning to all families: Save your time, money, and nerves! (Original) Warnung: Schlimmster Park, den wir je besucht haben! Wir waren voller Vorfreude auf den Pinocchio Park – und wurden bitter enttäuscht. Der gesamte Park ist in einem erschreckenden Zustand: marode Attraktionen aus längst vergangenen Zeiten, vieles kaputt, bröckelnde Bauten und ein Labyrinth, das so verwildert ist, dass man es kaum betreten kann. Der Kinderspielplatz? Kaputt und gefährlich – absolut ungeeignet für Kinder. Überall ist es dreckig, ungepflegt und verwahrlost. Von schöner Grünanlage oder gepflegtem Ambiente keine Spur. Das Personal ist dazu unfreundlich und wirkt genervt, als wären Besucher nur eine Last. Besonders dreist: Das interaktive Museum, das angeblich ein Highlight sein soll, ist nur im Winter geöffnet. In der Hauptsaison im Sommer, wenn Familien extra anreisen, bleibt es geschlossen – reine Verarsche. Die Eintrittspreise sind eine absolute Unverschämtheit. Viel zu hoch für das, was man geboten bekommt. Hier wird man als Tourist regelrecht abgezockt. Unser Fazit: Haltet euch fern von diesem Ort. Der Pinocchio Park ist dreckig, kaputt, überteuert und eine einzige Enttäuschung. Eine Warnung an alle Familien: Spart euch Zeit, Geld und Nerven!

Amazing view and experience. The place could be kept better by the managing foundation, but it still amazes everybody regardless. They recently acquired the old villa at the top of the garden which is now accessible (at least the courtyard in front) and is simply stunning!
Been here two times, such a dreamy place 🥰 Update 2023: I was here when it was still possible to visit the gardens alone (5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, so so beautiful!). It’s a shame they only offer combined tickets with Pinocchio Park now. As an adult with no kids, a visit in Pinocchio Park is absolutely useless. And 26€ for the gardens alone… way overpriced.
Wonderful park. Appr.1 hour enough to make some beautiful pictures in the garden. The butterfly house is amazing! Unfortunately you can't visit the castle. It's a bit costly.
It was quite an amazing place, I wish they have done a better job in maintenance. The plants are way over grown. I can get the ticket for only the garden so no problems with the Pinocchio's Park.
From what I remember, there was no entrance fee. Perhaps because we were out of season (beginning of May). We also managed to find a wedding, which took place in this charming place, and the organizer was a nice Polish woman. The garden is beautiful, several hours of walking along paths and stairs. It may not be 100% well-groomed, but so is its charm. It cannot be said to be run down or cluttered. In our opinion, the place is wonderful and it is worth wandering around a bit longer.
Beautiful place, had somewhat of an abandoned feel when we visited helped by it being very quiet.
Very small enclosures for the animals, especially the piranhas inside the butterfly house and the hidden away goat at the top of the garden. €70+ for 4 people for a 20 minute experience.
That is the most expensive entrance fee I have ever seen. 65 euro for family and 20 euro for each person single entry. Come on that is ridiculous. Guess what the place was completely empty and they were 2 German couple when they saw the price they came back and said: that is insane. Please rethink About these prices and let people enjoy the garden instead of asking high fees and have no one there.

Nice spot for a 1-hour unique programme to see and smell the trees blooming, raising baby lemons and mature lemons, walking beneath arches full of lemons hanging down. Also interesting to see the variety of species. We can see the result of more than 40 years work and specific knowledge here. Absolutely worth the entrance fee.
Great place and Lady behind the register told me everything about the place she could be tourist guide Im not that intrested in gardening or lemon trees but she told the story of Oscar Tintori in such a intresting way I was fascinated. ^^ My boyfriend was so happy to lern about many kinds of lemon trees he wanted to buy so many but we culdnt get more than 2 right now. The other lady who was seling trees from greenhouse speaks only italian but she is great with ppl and even with language barier she pretty easily found out what we needed. I love her positve energy <3 So the place is 10/10 lemon trees colection looks beautifuul its great place to visit. I would recomend to but books and fertilizers from the store and the trees ofc. Its a great thing to bring back home from itally our small flat smells amazing thanks to those trees and with the books I know how to take care of then🥰🥰🥰
Amazing experience!!! Organic grown varieties, hundreds of them. Will be happy to reccomend my Hotel San Lorenzo guests and friends around the world. Being a natural, chemical free habitat, bring natural mosquito repellent with you.
All you need to know about 450 types of citrus fruit (two of which you can get in UK supermarkets)
If you are a (citrus) plant lover, this is clearly the place to be! You‘ll find an awesome and impressive collection here - we had a great time and can recommend a visit to anyone. 👍
Impressive amount of different citrusfruits. Also the information about the different types is very interesting. Small area which you can finish in 30 - 45 minutes. Entrance fee of 5 Euro's is relatively expensive. Dissapointing is that you cannot taste the Limoncino they sell. On top of that, the Limoncino is not own produced. The logo is from Tintori, but the fruits used are from "somewhere in Pisa". Also the lady from the store was uninterested.
Very nice staff and experience.
(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, you can't take all the plants home, only the ones they sell 😁 But the display garden is simply amazing, it's great to be able to do something similar at home. If you need advice, you can get it, and the best part is, you can get it in German! Although, to be honest, it sounds better in Italian 😁 (Original) Leider kann man die Pflanzen nicht alle mitnehmen, nur die die sie auch verkaufen 😁 Aber der Schaugarten ist einfach irre, toll wenn man das in etwa annähernd zu Hause auch machen kann. Wenn man Beratung benötigt, man bekommt sie und das Beste daran, man bekommt sie in Deutsch! Wobei ehrlich gesagt,in italienisch hört es sich besser an 😁

The beautiful cathedral 🙏🙏
A beautiful place. Well worth a visit.
I love this church!!!where was my wedding as well!
(Translated by Google) The external architectural style is not among my favourites, but what the church houses inside is of great artistic depth. The brilliant idea of ​​bringing back, albeit temporarily, the stupendous canvas of the Madonna del Baldacchino by Raffaello Sanzio to this place, its original location, has enhanced the Cathedral of Pescia even more. The museum itinerary is well thought out and the information on the various works is satisfactory. Worth a visit. (Original) Lo stile architettonico esterno non è tra i miei preferiti, ma quello che la chiesa ospita al suo interno è di grande spessore artistico. L'idea geniale di riportare, seppure temporaneamente, in questo luogo, sua sede originaria, la stupenda tela della Madonna del Baldacchino di Raffaello Sanzio ha valorizzato ancora di più la Cattedrale di Pescia. Il percorso museale è ben congegnato e le informazioni sulle varie opere sono soddisfacenti. Merita una visita.
(Translated by Google) It is the second time that I return to Pescia to visit the Cathedral of the Madonna del Baldacchino, by Raphael. This time, in addition to retracing the masterpieces kept like a treasure chest, including the aforementioned Madonna del Baldacchino, I went because on some dates it is possible to access the Capitolare Library and ... Saturday 15/07 was one of these. A Library, built in 1648 by canon Romualdo Cecchi's will, which has come down to us intact... as they wanted it in the 18th century and thus "recomposed" by expert hands respectful of the "papers" preserved there. Among other things, the bull of Pope Alexander VII who recognized it as such are visible; 42 incunables (i.e. books printed with the movable type technique); thousands of books; manuscripts and prints (including some relating to Raphael with the works in the rooms in the Vatican Museums; the Galatea at Villa Farnesina and the Madonna del Baldacchino). One of the most beautiful libraries I have visited in Tuscany... I have to say (Original) È la seconda volta che torno a Pescia per la visita in Cattedrale della Madonna del Baldacchino, di Raffaello. Questa volta, oltre a ripercorrere i capolavori custoditi come uno scrigno, compreso la già nominata Madonna del Baldacchino, sono stato perché in alcune date è possibile accedere alla Biblioteca Capitolare e ... sabato 15/07 è stata una di queste. Una Biblioteca, realizzata nel 1648 per volontà testamentario del canonico Romualdo Cecchi, giunta a noi integra ... come la vollero nel '700 e così "ricomposta" da mani esperte e rispettose delle "carte" lì conservate. Sono visibili, tra l'altro, la bolla di Papa Alessandro VII che la riconosceva come tale; 42 incunabili (cioè libri stampati con la tecnica a caratteri mobili); migliaia di libri; manoscritti e stampe (tra cui alcune inerenti a Raffaello con i lavori nelle stanze nei Musei Vaticani; la Galatea a Villa Farnesina e la Madonna del Baldacchino). Una delle più belle Biblioteche che io abbia visitato in Toscana ... mi viene da dire

(Translated by Google) Here we capture the mystical sense and the closeness to Saint Francis. It was the first church to be dedicated to the Saint in the world, way back in 1228. Facade almost entirely in brick in Roman-Gothic style. Inside, the wooden ceiling of excellent workmanship and conservation is striking, as is the beautiful slab placed on the tomb of Francesco Datini. The internal cloister is very beautiful and can be accessed from the sacristy with a 3 euro ticket. The cloister contains a chapel completely frescoed by Niccolò Gerini which is a real jewel, it is definitely worth seeing (Original) Qui si coglie il senso mistico e la vicinanza a San Francesco. Fu la prima chiesa ad essere dedicata al Santo nel mondo, nel lontano 1228. Facciata quasi interamente in mattoni in stile romano-gotico. All'interno colpisce il soffitto ligneo di ottima manifattura e conservazione, bella la lastra posta sulla tomba di Francesco Datini. Molto bello il chiostro interno al quale si accede dalla sagrestia con un biglietto di 3 euro. Il chiostro contiene una cappella completamente affrescata da Niccolò Gerini che è un vero gioiello, è sicuramente da vedere
(Translated by Google) Wonderful 14th century Gothic church in the heart of the beautiful historic center of Prato. Inside there are valuable medieval architecture, wooden altarpieces and first-rate sacred furnishings and for those who are interested, a chapel entirely frescoed in 1400 by Nicolò di Pietro Gerini in late Gothic style. The medieval cloister is also beautiful with tombs and statues to discover, unfortunately not always accessible. The whole thing is a true, unexpected wonder. Absolutely worth visiting (Original) Meravigliosa chiesa gotica del XIV secolo nel cuore del bellissimo centro storico di Prato. Al suo interno pregevoli architetture medioevali, pale lignee e arredi sacri di prim'ordine e per chi ne avesse interesse, una cappella interamente affrescata nel 1400 da Nicolò di Pietro Gerini in stile tardo gotico. Bello anche il chiostro medievale con tombe e statue da scoprire, purtroppo non sempre accessibile. L'insieme è una vera meraviglia, inaspettata. Da visitare assolutamente
(Translated by Google) The church of San Francesco overlooks the square of the same name. The facade and interiors are beautiful, with Florentine Romanesque, Neo-Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles. The beautiful facade is built in bands of Alberese stone and serpentine. Beautiful. (Original) La chiesa di San Francesco si affaccia proprio sulla omonima piazza. Bellissimo la facciata e gli interni, con stile architettonico Romanico Fiorentino, Neogotico e rinascimentale. La facciata bellissima è costruita a fasce di pietra alberese e serpentino. Bellissima.
(Translated by Google) Wonderful!!! Work by Gerini from the 15th century...impossible not to go. Chapel commissioned to Niccolò di Pietro Gerini by the Migliorati family. Prato amazes me more and more. And according to the custodian, after the restoration of the church we will see some beautiful things... we are waiting. Entrance from the church of San Francesco (Original) Meravigliaaa!!! Opera del Gerini del XV secolo...impossibile non andarci .Cappella commissionata a Niccolò di Pietro Gerini dalla famiglia Migliorati. Prato mi meraviglia sempre più. Ed a detta del custode dopo i restauri della chiesa ne vedremo delle belle...noi aspettiamo. Ingresso dalla chiesa di San Francesco
(Translated by Google) Beautiful and ancient Franciscan church located in the heart of the historic center of Prato, a few steps from the most famous church of Santa Maria delle Carceri and the imposing Emperor's Castle. On 24 July 1228, eight days after the canonization of Francis of Assisi, the Municipality of Prato bought land for the friars minor, near the Prato "castrum" in the place called "l'Oliveto", so that they could build a church there and a convent. The first small church was built as early as 1233, but the construction of the current complex only began in 1281, due to events linked to the expansion of the city walls around the village of Santa Trinita. The church was then named after San Francesco d'Assisi... and is among the oldest churches in Prato. It is immediately striking for the dualism of the materials used; in fact, if for the scenographic facade the consolidated cladding of two-tone, white and green serpentine marble distributed in horizontal bands typical of the Tuscan Romanesque was adopted, the rest of the building (left bare of the cladding) shows a peculiarity of local record: it is the first church in history - in the Prato area - to be built entirely in bricks rather than stone. Also noteworthy is the monumental entrance portal, framed by thin and elegant cylindrical columns, surmounted by a powerful architrave, on which the coat of arms and two characters of the well-known Pugliesi family are sculpted. The lunette above, recently restored, depicting the Immaculate Madonna is the work of the painter Martino Benelli, created in the first half of the nineteenth century. The bell tower is also from almost the same period: designed by the Prato architect Antonio Bernini and built outside the body of the church between 1798 and 1802, to replace the original one which rested on the apse. The facade ends with the large triangular tympanum where a valuable thematic relief (in stucco) stands out: "The Stigmata of San Francesco" by Andrea della Robbia, dating back to around 1490, when he was already working on the internal decorations of the nearby church of Santa Maria delle Carceri . (Original) Bellissima e antica chiesa francescana ubicata nel cuore del centro storico di Prato, a pochi passi dalla più celebre chiesa di Santa Maria delle Carceri e dall'imponente Castello dell'Imperatore. Il 24 luglio del 1228, otto giorni dopo la canonizzazione di Francesco d'Assisi, il Comune di Prato comprò per i frati minori un terreno, presso il “castrum” pratese nel luogo detto “l'Oliveto”, affinché vi potessero costruire una chiesa ed un convento. La prima chiesetta fu eretta già nel 1233, ma la costruzione dell'attuale complesso fu iniziata solo nel 1281, per vicende legate all'ampliamento della cinta muraria intorno al borgo di Santa Trinita. La chiesa venne quindi intitolata a San Francesco d'Assisi...ed è tra le più antiche chiese pratesi. Colpisce subito per il dualismo dei materiali impiegati; infatti, se per la scenografica facciata è stato adottato il consolidato rivestimento a marmi bicromi, bianco e serpentino verde distribuiti a fasce orizzontali tipiche del romanico toscano, il resto dell'edificio (rimasto a nudo del rivestimento) mostra una peculiarità da primato locale: è la prima chiesa della storia - in terriotrio pratese - ad essere edificata totalmente in mattoni anziché in pietra. Notevole è pure il monumentale portale d'ingresso, incorniciato da sottili ed eleganti colonnine cilindriche, sormontato da un possente architrave, sul quale sono scolpiti lo stemma e due personaggi della nota famiglia Pugliesi. La lunetta sovrastante, recentemente restaurata, raffigurante la Madonna Immacolata è opera del pittore Martino Benelli, realizzata nella prima metà dell'Ottocento. Quasi dello stesso periodo è anche il campanile: progettato dall'architetto pratese Antonio Bernini e costruito fuori dal corpo della chiesa tra il 1798 e il 1802, per sostituire quello originale che poggiava invece sull'abside. La facciata termina con il grande timpano triangolare dove campeggia un pregevole rilievo (in stucco) tematico: “Le Stimmate di San Francesco” di Andrea della Robbia, databile attorno al 1490, quando già lavorava alle decorazioni interne della vicina chiesa di Santa Maria delle Carceri.

(Translated by Google) Interesting monographic journey to discover this sculptor from Pescia, Libero Andreotti, little known outside his environment, but certainly representative for the history of twentieth-century Italian art. In the beautiful and historic Palazzo del Podestà, where this permanent exhibition is set up, one realizes that Andreotti was not only the sculptor of monuments to the fallen, which were also interesting, but also a more intimate artist, with a stupendous production of small statues intended for the interiors of homes and bas-reliefs of great impact. (Original) Interessante percorso monografico alla scoperta di questo scultore pesciatino, Libero Andreotti, poco conosciuto al di fuori del suo ambiente, ma sicuramente rappresentativo per la storia dell'arte del Novecento italiano. Nel bellissimo e storico Palazzo del Podestà, ove è allestita questa mostra permanente, ci si accorge che Andreotti non è stato soltanto scultore di monumenti ai caduti, peraltro interessanti, ma anche artista più intimo, con una stupenda produzione di piccole statue destinate agli interni di abitazioni e di bassorilievi di grande impatto.
Wonderful surprise this museum in Pescia! Beautiful building and very sweet collection of statues by the local artist Libero Andreotti.

(Translated by Google) For many and perhaps also for myself, the most beautiful church in Pescia. A few steps from Piazza Mazzini there is a real jewel. A must see at all costs for anyone coming to our city! (Original) Per molti e forse anche per il sottoscritto la chiesa più bella di pescia. A pochi passi da Piazza Mazzini si trova un vero e proprio gioiello. Da vedere a tutti i costi per chiunque venga nella nostra città!
(Translated by Google) The architectural structure of this ancient church is truly very beautiful. The spectacular and well-maintained staircase in front contributes to making the Collegiate Church of Saints Stephen and Nicholas the most beautiful building of worship in this splendid town. Inside there are no works of great artistic importance, but the environment conveys a great sense of peace. I really liked a Visitation from the end of the 16th century by Agostino Campielli (1565-1630). (Original) La struttura architettonica di questa antica chiesa è davvero molto bella. Lo scalone antistante è spettacolare e ben tenuto contribuisce a rendere la Collegiata dei Santi Stefano e Nicolao il più bell'edificio di culto di questa splendida cittadina. All'interno non vi sono custodite opere di grande rilevanza artistica, ma l'ambiente trasmette un grande senso di pace. Mi è molto piaciuta una Visitazione di fine '500 di Agostino Campielli (1565-1630).
(Translated by Google) The Collegiate Church of Saints Stephen and Nicholas, remembered from 1068 and modified in 1331, was remodeled in the 17th and 18th centuries. The interior, with three naves, is characterized by pillars and pilasters with Corinthian capitals in gray stone which stand out against the white plaster. Above the main nave there are some modern stained glass windows with busts of saints. Among the works, a carved and painted wooden Annunciation from the Pisan school (ca. 1390-1400) known as the Madonna dell'Acquavino. Behind the altar, a valuable wooden choir. (Original) La Chiesa Collegiata dei Santi Stefano e Nicolao ricordata dal 1068 e modificata nel 1331, è stata rimaneggiata nel XVII e XVIII secolo. L'interno, a tre navate, è caratterizzato da pilastri e lesene con capitelli corinzi in pietra grigia che risaltano sul bianco dell'intonaco. Sopra la navata maggiore sono collocate alcune vetrate moderne con busti di santi. Fra le opere, un'Annunciazione in legno scolpito e dipinto di scuola pisana (1390-1400 ca.) detta Madonna dell'Acquavino. Dietro l'altare, un pregevole coro ligneo.
(Translated by Google) It's a shame I can't go there anymore since the priest sent me away for sharing a post about salvini... and some people contributed to this by making me distance myself from the community. Maybe it was a good thing because a priest who is afraid of people's opinions and doesn't think about lost sheep doesn't deserve to be considered such. (Original) Peccato non possa più andarci visto che il prete mi ha allontanata per aver condiviso un post su salvini...e certa gente ha contribuito a ciò facendomi allontanare dalla comunità. Forse è stato un bene perché un prete che ha paura delle opinioni della gente, non pensa alle pecorelle smarrite non merita di essere considerato tale.
(Translated by Google) A church, a parish, a community where it is nice to go, pray, listen to the lord and where it is easy to truly feel in the house of God and in addition to the beauty of the church and the peace you find here you find him Don Va and with him you are truly in the hands of the lord because with him you see the light you see the path you must follow, Santo Stefano and Don Va are one and the same thing (Original) Una chiesa una parrocchia una comunità dove è bello andare, pregare ascoltare il signore e dove è facile sentirsi veramente nella casa di Dio e oltre alla bellezza della chiesa e alla pace che trovi qui trovi lui Don Va e con lui sei veramente nelle mani del signore perché con lui vedi la luce vedi la strada che devi seguire , santo Stefano e don Va un unica cosa
(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful church and that something that makes it great is an exceptional parish priest, Don Valerio Mugnaini, loved by all for his kindness and helpfulness.. (Original) È una bella chiesa e quel quid che la fa grande è un parroco eccezionale don Valerio Mugnaini amato da tutti per la sua gentilezza e disponibilità ..

(Translated by Google) It is mentioned in a document before 1000, preserved in the archives of the diocese of Lucca to which it belongs. In Romanesque style. Over time, it has undergone several changes; the most important at the end of the 1400s. It contains several fifteenth-century works of art including two wooden statues attributable to the Valdambrino school and a recently restored terracotta Madonna. A 17th century panel painting similar to the school of Sebastiano Vini, and other minor works including a fresco representing the baptism of Jesus which came to light during a restoration in the 1950s. The two baptismal fonts are particular, which is rare for a church of suburbs, which however demonstrate the importance of the church in times gone by, in pietra serena, one of which is finely sculpted. According to a hypothesis put forward by experts, it seems that the immersion baptismal font is actually an ancient pagan altar coming from the old church of Pontito "located a stone's throw from the walls", previously a pagan temple dedicated to the sun. In support of this hypothesis, the radiant sun carved on one side of the baptismal font and the lack of symbols that recall Christianity. Interesting is the mechanism of the pendulum clock which previously marked the hours by striking a hammer with a bell, removed from its seat in the bell tower and placed in the church, cleaned and made functional. On the bell tower there are 2 large bells dated 1611 and 1636. From the church square you can enjoy a wonderful view over the entire valley and the eye is lost in the distance where you can glimpse the outline of the Island of Elba. Even the medieval village of Pontito, which has remained almost intact, is worth a visit for its particular defense-oriented conformation, difficult to describe, and surrounded by walls. It is located on the slopes of a mountain at 750 m. above sea level, and due to its considerable slope the houses, almost all of 3-4 floors, have the characteristic of having two entrances, one on the ground floor and the other in the street above on the top floor. The remains of 2 of the 4 access doors to the castle and the walls are visible. (Original) Se ne parla in un documento anteriore al 1000, conservato negli archivi della diocesi di Lucca a cui appartiene. In stile romanico. Nel tempo, ha subito diverse modifiche; le più importanti alla fine del 1400. Contiene diverse opere d'arte quattrocentesche fra cui due statue lignee attribuibili alla scuola del Valdambrino ed una madonna in terracotta recentemente restaurata. Un dipinto su tavola del XVII secolo affine alla scuola di Sebastiano Vini, ed altre opere minori fra cui un affresco rappresentante il battesimo di Gesù tornato alla luce durante un restauro negli anni 50. Particolari sono i due fonti battesimali, cosa rara per una chiesa di periferia, che però dimostrano l'importanza della chiesa nei tempi passati, in pietra serena, uno dei quali finemente scolpito. Seconda una ipotesi avanzata da esperti, pare che il fonte battesimale ad immersione sia in realtà un antico altare pagano proveniente dalla vecchia chiesa di Pontito "ubicata da un tiro di schioppo dalle mura", precedentemente tempio pagano dedicato al sole. A sostegno di tale ipotesi il sole raggiante scolpito su un lato del fonte battesimale e la mancanza di simboli che richiamino al cristianesimo. Interessante è il meccanismo dell'orologio a pendolo che prima scandiva le ore battendo con un martello su una campana, rimosso dalla sua sede in campanile e collocato in chiesa, ripulito e reso funzionante. Sul campanile 2 grosse campane datate 1611 e 1636. Dal piazzale della chiesa si gode uno stupendo panorama su tutta la valle e l'occhio si perde in lontananza dove si intravede la sagoma dell'Isola d'Elba. Anche il borgo medioevale di Pontito, rimasto quasi intatto, merita una visita per la sua particolare conformazione improntata alla difesa, difficile da descrivere, e circondato da mura. E' situato sulle pendici di un monte a 750 m. slm, ed a causa della sua notevole pendenza le case, quasi tutte di 3-4 piani, hanno la caratteristica di avere due ingressi, uno al piano terreno e l'altro nella via soprastante all'ultimo piano. Sono visibili i resti di 2 delle 4 porte di accesso al castello e delle mura.

(Translated by Google) The Oratory was founded around 1447 by Francesco Galeotti. The Renaissance style architecture is perhaps one of the most important testimonies of Brunelleschi's influence in Valdinievole. The design of the facades is in fact attributed to Andrea di Lazzaro Cavalcanti da Buggiano, pupil and adoptive son of Filippo Brunelleschi. The oratory experienced its moment of greatest fame in the early seventeenth century when in 1605, in the presence of the Grand Duchess Cristina of Tuscany, the image of the Virgin with the Child - which was in the aedicule of the Santa Maria bridge (now Duomo) - was moved to the Oratory. The sacred image much venerated by the Pescia pieta dates back to the 15th century and is painted on a blackboard. The main altar was designed by the grand ducal architect Domenico Marcacci and the extraordinary polychrome wooden ceiling was designed by the same architect and created by Giovanni Zeti known as 'Giovannone of the crucifixes'. Stop and admire this little jewel! (Original) L'Oratorio fu fondato intorno al 1447 per volontà di Francesco Galeotti. L'architettura in stile rinascimentale è forse una delle più importanti testimonianze d'influenza brunelleschiana in Valdinievole. Il disegno delle facciate è infatti attribuito ad Andrea di Lazzaro Cavalcanti da Buggiano, allievo e figlio adottivo di Filippo Brunelleschi. L'oratorio conobbe il suo momento di massima notorietà nei primi anni del Seicento quando nel 1605, alla presenza della Granduchessa Cristina di Toscana, l'immagine della Vergine con il Bambino - che si trovava nell'edicola del ponte di Santa Maria (oggi del Duomo)- fu traslata nell'Oratorio. L'immagine sacra molto venerata dalla pietà pesciatina risale al secolo XV ed è dipinta su lavagna. L'altare maggiore fu disegnato dall'architetto granducale Domenico Marcacci e lo straordinario soffitto ligneo policromo fu progettato dallo stesso architetto e realizzato da Giovanni Zeti detto 'Giovannone dei crocifissi'. Soffermatevi ad ammirare questo piccolo gioiello!

The Chiesa di San Michele in Foro, located in the heart of Lucca, Italy, is a stunning example of Romanesque architecture with its intricately detailed façade and towering statue of the Archangel Michael. The church's marble exterior is a masterpiece, adorned with ornate carvings and columns, each uniquely designed. Inside, the atmosphere is serene, with beautiful artwork and a sense of timeless spirituality. While the interior is more understated compared to the elaborate exterior, it still offers a quiet beauty and historical charm. A visit to San Michele in Foro is a must for art and history enthusiasts exploring Lucca.
The outside of the church is framed by stunning marble columns and reliefs. Inside, everything seems simple, if you don't know one interesting secret- there are intriguing hand-drawn animal figures on some of the columns. These drawings are examples of medieval graffiti, created by pilgrims, clergy, or local visitors during the Middle Ages. Such graffiti often included ships, cities, and animals, reflecting personal experiences, devotional expressions, or observations of daily life. They serve as a testament to the human connection and continuity within sacred spaces across generations.
After seeing it the second time, it is still just as cool as the first. It is leaning for sure and it is a beautiful building. Crazy to see the "adjustment" they made on the middle floors if you look close enough. Still hate the fact that nobody follows the rules about staying off grass and people standing inside the no go zone for their pictures. Everyone is more important than anyone else. And unless you live within walking distance leave your dog at home.
Most beautiful church in Lucca specially for its façade from 14th century with large sculptures and inlays, as the church itself is much older. Church is dedicated to Archangel Michael which 4m high statue is on the top of the main façade between two other angels. "In Foro" means that it was build over Roman Forum. church inside is a basilica type one with less decoration, and there is an organ. Under the altar there is a mummified body of pilgrim San Divino Armeno that died 1050, oldest known mummified saint in Italy. Entrance is free.
This is so gorgeous, spectacular! The external is super nice. Captivating and worth all photo taking. It is free to enter and visit. You would find the interior less spectacular but it has its charm. Definitely a visit. You can also enjoy the building for some food or drinks or dessert just near the place.
Although we didnt have enough time to explore the interiors, the architecture alone is enough for a visit. Also there are many cafe and shops nearby to rest and enjoy some aperol.
Actually the centre of lucca chiesa di san michele. If you want to visit the centre of lucca, drinks or soothing evening. This is the best place to visit. Lucca is different, it has its own vibes
Stunning! There isn't a lot you can say, but it certainly was beautiful
