The 19 best churches in Anghiari

Visit only if you're intetested about this kind of history and battles. The tour inside this museum takes around 40 mins (We forgot to see the garden). There're 3 floors, you can find two 3D maps explaining where happened this battle, and how is the area. There're also paintings, materials of the battle. Then you can watch a short movie (in Italian & English) explaining about its history, then telling about the painting that exist in Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. It's good also for kids because it's very simple, and not so boring. On the ground floor they sell collection of books also for kids, and some toys related to the battle, or Leonardo da Vinci in general.

If you are looking for Leonardo da Vinci (current show), save money on a book. Only posters. Small local museum. Nothing more.

Very interesting view over an historic event and Leonardo da Vinci. Great place to visit.

It's not that expensive and it provides a suitable view of the battle

Nature

Is a breath taken place and a few Michelins Restaurants,

(Translated by Google) It's a pretty disappointing museum. A very pleasant and well-kept container, the sixteenth-century Palazzo del Marzocco, corresponds to a modest content, not up to expectations. Of the battle of Anghiari there are only a few illustrative panels and a model of the deployments, which are not of high quality. The sector dedicated to weapons is very sparse and the weapons date back to centuries after the battle. Sure, you can read the fascinating story of the lost wall painting that Leonardo created for the Salone dei Cinquecento in Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, but frankly you can read it anywhere. Virtual reconstructions just need to be made available and you can view them more comfortably at home. There are some paintings, but always without any connection with the battle, except a seventeenth-century copy of part of Leonardo's lost work and little else. The battle of Anghiari fought in 1440 between the Milanese troops of the Viscontis and the coalition led by the Republic of Florence deserves the presence of real and not virtual objects. (Original) È un museo abbastanza deludente. Ad un contenitore molto gradevole e ben tenuto, il cinquecentesco Palazzo del Marzocco, corrisponde un contenuto modesto, non all'altezza delle aspettative. Della battaglia di Anghiari c'è solo qualche pannello illustrativo ed un plastico degli schieramenti, di non elevata fattura. Il settore dedicato alle armi è molto scarno e le armi sono di secoli successivi a quelli della battaglia. Certo, si può leggere la storia affascinante della pittura murale perduta che Leonardo realizzò per il Salone dei Cinquecento di Palazzo Vecchio a Firenze, ma francamente la si può leggere ovunque. Le ricostruzioni virtuali basta renderle disponibili e si possono vedere più comodamente a casa. C'è qualche dipinto, ma sempre senza alcun nesso con la battaglia, tranne una copia seicentesca di parte dell'opera perduta di Leonardo e poco altro. La battaglia di Anghiari combattuta nel 1440 fra le truppe milanesi dei Visconti e la coalizione guidata dalla Repubblica di Firenze meriterebbe la presenza di oggetti reali e non virtuali.

(Translated by Google) Palazzo Pretorio stands out on the large square at the highest point of Anghiari. Recently restored, it is the seat of the municipality. It dates back to the 14th century and appears externally covered with coats of arms of the various vicars and podestàs who have succeeded over time in administering justice on behalf of the Florentine government. Also on the facade a niche protects a partly lost sacred fresco. The ground floor can be visited for free during the opening hours of the municipality, here there are the remains of two Roman-era tanks relating to the production of wine, a 15th century fresco depicting justice, a prison and other rooms and minor works. (Original) Palazzo Pretorio spicca sull’ampia piazza nel punto più alto di Anghiari. Restaurato recentemente è sede del comune. Risale al XIV secolo e appare esternamente tappezzato da stemmi dei vari vicari e podestà che si sono succeduti nel corso del tempo nell’amministrare la giustizia per conto del governo fiorentino. Sempre sulla facciata una nicchia protegge un affresco sacro in parte perduto. Il piano terra è visitabile gratuitamente durante gli orari di apertura del comune, qui sono presenti i resti di due vasche di epoca romana relative alla produzione del vino, un affresco del XV secolo raffigurante la giustizia, una prigione ed altri locali e opere minori.

(Translated by Google) The Praetorian Palace, previously Palazzo del Vicario, dates back to the 14th century and is today the municipal seat. Located in the heart of Anghiari, it has an L-shaped plan and a facade decorated with the coats of arms of the Florentine vicars. In the past it was the seat of the Court, of which it preserves secrets, a chapel and a 15th century fresco depicting Justice, attributed to Antonio di Anghiari. (Original) Il Palazzo Pretorio, in precedenza Palazzo del Vicario, risale al XIV secolo ed è oggi la sede municipale. Situato nel cuore di Anghiari, ha una pianta a L e una facciata decorata con gli stemmi dei vicari fiorentini. In passato fu sede del Tribunale, di cui conserva segrete, una cappella e un affresco del XV secolo raffigurante la Giustizia, attribuito ad Antonio di Anghiari.

I have previously lived in Italy and have visited dozens of museums throughout the peninsula; this was by far the worst Italian museum experience I have ever had. Better artifacts can be viewed in any antique Italian church for free, and the cold, unwelcoming, and condescending staff seem to try their best to destroy whatever atmospheric charm this small, bush-league exhibition could possess. Museo di Palazzo Taglieschi is a thoroughly mediocre museum paired with a thoroughly unfriendly staff. Don’t waste your time or money.

This would be a nice museum, however the staff hovers over you as if waiting for you to break or touch something. Our family went through - my husband and four children ages 13 to 22. My 22 year old son ( an honors history major - who studied a year in Viterbo) was told he was not allowed to go ahead of us and had to stay with us. My son has been in museums all over Italy much larger and grander than this museum and was never treated this rudely. It was ridiculous. Hard to enjoy the art and history while someone looks over your shoulder and directs you to the next room. She even opened the door to let us exit.

(Translated by Google) Visited with everything that the Borgo contains... which is a lot. The Palace, which we see today, is the Renaissance result of an incorporation of previously existing tower houses and older structures and was the home of the Taglieschi family. Only this has already been "discovered" (I guarantee because it is a "choppy" route in a suggestive ups and downs) in the visit to the State Museum which collects the testimonies of the territory ranging from "material" coming from abandoned churches and not to collections such as those of weapons. For those who are lucky enough to happen upon "themed" visits there is the possibility of accessing the loggia from which you can enjoy a wonderful view of the village but... it didn't happen to me... alas. It is possible to purchase a single ticket for entry to the Battle Museum. Remember that you enter on the hour (for example, I entered at 11:00) because you are accompanied on the visit. Once out I recommend climbing the stairs of Via della Torre... you can observe photographic glimpses at every step. (Original) Visitato con tutto ciò che il Borgo racchiude ... che è molto. Il Palazzo, che vediamo oggi, è il risultato in chiave rinascimentale, di un inglobamento di Case Torri e strutture più antiche precedentemente esistenti ed era dimora della famiglia Taglieschi. Solo questo è per già "scoperta" (garantisco perché si tratta di un percorso "mosso" in un sali e scendi suggestivo) nella visita ad Museo Statale che raccoglie le testimonianze del territorio che vanno da "materiale" proveniente dalle Chiese dismesse e non alle collezioni come quella d'armi. Per chi ha la fortuna di capitare in occasione di visite "a tema" c'è la possibilità di accedere alla loggia da cui si gode un panorama stupendo sul Borgo ma ... non è capitato a me ... ahime. E' possibile fare un unico biglietto per l'ingresso anche al Museo della Battaglia. Da ricordarsi che si accede allo scoccare dell'ora (io, ad esempio sono entrato alle ore 11:00) perché si è accompagnati nella visita. Una volta usciti consiglio di salire per le scale di Via della Torre ... si possono osservare scorci fotografici ad ogni passo.

(Translated by Google) The multitude of works of art collected in this beautiful Palace essentially come from the territory. Spread over three floors and a basement, it displays, among others, a wonderful "Madonna and Child" by Jacopo della Quercia and a beautiful "Nativity" by Andrea della Robbia. At the entrance it is possible to purchase a cumulative ticket, which can be used for the Battle Museum opposite. Museum to absolutely visit. (Original) La moltitudine di opere d'arte raccolte in questo bellissimo Palazzo proviene essenzialemente dal territorio. Articolata su tre piani ed un sotterraneo espone, tra le altre, una meravigliosa "Madonna col Bambino" di Jacopo della Quercia ed una bellissima "Natività" di Andrea della Robbia. All'ingresso è possibile acquistare un biglietto cumulativo, utilizzabile per l'antistante Museo della Battaglia. Museo da visitare assolutamente.

(Translated by Google) The museum is a small jewel: distributed across four floors of the (truly suggestive) Palazzo Taglieschi, it presents numerous works of art, a collection of weapons, everyday objects from churches and historic buildings in the Tiber Valley area. The "star" of the museum is a beautiful wooden sculpture of the Virgin by Jacopo della Quercia from the 15th century. If you pass by Anghiari don't miss it. (Original) Il museo è un piccolo gioiello: distribuiti in quattro piani del (davvero suggestivo) Palazzo Taglieschi, presenta numerose opere d'arte, una collezione di armi, oggetti d'uso comune provenienti da chiese ed edifici storici dell'area Valtiberina. La "star" del museo è una bellissima scultura lignea della Vergine di Jacopo della Quercia del XV secolo. Se passate da Anghiari non perdetevelo.

(Translated by Google) Located in a very beautiful medieval context, in a village full of narrow streets and surrounded by a very beautiful defensive wall. It is very beautiful to visit I highly recommend it (Original) Situato in un contesto medievale molto bello ,in un borgo pieno divicoletti e circondato da una muraglia difensiva molto bella. È molto bello da visitare Lo consiglio vivamente

(Translated by Google) An absolutely fascinating visit to a museum which is a more unique than rare set of ancient tower houses conglomerated in a single labyrinthine palace. Inside there are very valuable wooden sculptures of sacred art that come from the surrounding area. The Madonnas with Child are also enchanting because they offer the possibility of enjoying women's fashion from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century down to the smallest details, in the rendering of the colored fabrics and the hairstyles painted on the wood. The Madonna by Jacopo della Quercia is marvelous with its sweet and intense expression. The lady who accompanied us on the visit was perfect and explained very interesting things to us. (Original) Una visita assolutamente affascinante in un museo che è un insieme più unico che raro di antiche case-torre conglomerate in un unico labirintico palazzo. All'interno pregevolissime sculture lignee d'arte sacra che provengono dal territorio circostante. Incantevoli le Madonne con Bambino anche perché offrono la possibilità di gustare fin nei dettagli la moda femminile dal Duecento al Quattrocento, nella resa dei tessuti colorati e delle acconciature dipinte sul legno. Meravigliosa la Madonna di Jacopo della Quercia dall'espressione dolce e intensa. La signora che ci ha accompagnati nella visita è stata perfetta e ci ha spiegato cose interessantissime.

(Translated by Google) The construction of the church is not certain, however the first document that mentions it dates back to 1105. It was the church of the Camaldolese monastery of S. Bartolomeo and constituted the first place of worship in Anghiari. Subsequently rebuilt, it was modified in 1446 creating the current asymmetrical interior. The beautiful stone facade is a bit surprising due to the presence of unusual architectural elements such as a small terrace and windows typical of homes. Even the interior, with a single nave, is particular because it is asymmetrical, meaning the presbytery is not aligned with the rest of the church. The stone altar is interesting as are two wooden sculptures, one of the Madonna with child and a Crucifix from the end of the 13th century which every year, on May 3rd, is carried in procession on the feast day of the Holy Cross. (Original) La realizzazione della chiesa non è certa però il primo documento che la cita risale al 1105. Fu la chiesa del monastero camaldolese di S. Bartolomeo e costituì il primo luogo di culto in Anghiari. Ricostruita successivamente fu modificata nel 1446 creando l’attuale interno asimmetrico. La bella facciata in pietra un po’ sorprende per la presenza di elementi architettonici inconsueti come un terrazzino e delle finestre tipiche delle abitazioni. Anche l’interno, ad unica navata, è particolare perché asimmetrico ovvero il presbiterio non è allineato con il resto della chiesa. Interessante l’altare in pietra così come due sculture lignee, una della Madonna con bambino e un Crocifisso della fine del XIII secolo che ogni anno, il 3 maggio, viene portata in processione nel giorno della festa della Santa Croce.

(Translated by Google) The Mother Church of Anghiari, small, with a single nave, asymmetrical. It preserves an important wooden Crucifix that is carried in procession on May 3rd and a wooden statue of the Madonna with child. A true jewel. (Original) La Chiesa madre di Anghiari, piccola, con un' unica navata, asimmetrica. Conserva un importante Crocifisso ligneo che viene portato in processione il 3 maggio e una statua lignea della Madonna col bambino. Un vero gioiello.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting church, wooden statue with Madonna and Child of great interest. Wooden crucifix of relief on the altar, the altar itself particular for the large stone arch and the sculptures of saints. (Original) Chiesa molto interessante, statua in legno con Madonna e Bambino di grande interesse. Crocefisso in legno di rilievo sull'altare, altare stesso particolare per il grande arco in pietra e per le sculture di santi.

(Original) Bella ed antica chiesa incastonata tra le case del paese, poco identificabile, facciata lineare, interno bello e decorato, vari affreschi, da vedere.

(Translated by Google) Very ancient, it dates back to 1104, perhaps the first church in Anghiari. From the outside you wouldn't even think it was a church, the interior is very particular and surprisingly asymmetrical. (Original) Molto antica, risale addirittura al 1104, forse la prima chiesa di Anghiari. Esternamente non si direbbe neanche che è una chiesa, l'interno è molto particolare e sorprendentemente asimmetrica.

(Translated by Google) Cycling along the road that leads to Galbino, dirt and slightly uphill, you would never expect to find yourself in front of such a beautiful Castle. Immersed in a still uncontaminated nature and centuries-old plants, it is impossible not to be enveloped by the peace and serenity of the place!!!. Galbino is also one of the most popular refreshment points during the vintage cycling tour "l'intrepida" which takes place on the third Sunday of October. (Original) Percorrendo in bicicletta la strada che conduce a Galbino,sterrata e in leggera salita, mai ci si aspetterebbe di trovarsi di fronte a un così bel Castello.

(Translated by Google) The countryside of the Tiber Valley is full of parish churches, abbeys and chapels. Some of these are very old. That of Santa Maria a Micciano is documented since 1080, which then entered the orbit of the Camaldolese from 1104 to 1198. In 1880 the building underwent a radical transformation with the transformation of the main body into a single nave. The building is located between Anghiari and its hamlet Motina and can be recognized even from a distance, even from the top of Montedoglio. (Original) Le campagne della Valtiberina sono piene di pievi, abbazie e cappelle. Alcune di queste sono molto antiche. Quella di Santa Maria a Micciano è documentata fin dal 1080, entrata poi nell'orbita dei Camaldolesi dal 1104 al 1198. Nel 1880 l'edificio subì un radicale con la trasformazione del corpo principale in un'unica navata. L'edificio si trova tra Anghiari e la sua frazione Motina e si riconosce anche da distante, pure dalla cima di Montedoglio.

(Translated by Google) A place of worship since time immemorial, it was the first parish church in Anghiari. Originally composed of three naves, it owes its current shape following important renovation works in the early 1900s. Inside it preserves the "Pietà" by Vetturino Venturi. (Original) Da tempo immemore luogo di culto, fu la prima pieve di Anghiari. Originariamente composta da tre navate, deve la sua conformazione attuale a seguito di importanti lavori di ristrutturazione dei primi anni del 900. Conserva al suo interno la "Pietà" di Vetturino Venturi.

(Translated by Google) The parish church of Santa Maria a Corsano is an ancient Romanesque church from the 12th century, probably built by the Camaldolese on the remains of a pagan temple. Its architecture is particularly interesting, with a small bell tower leaning against the façade, opened by two orders of mullioned windows and with the entrance portal at the base. Confiscated in 1866 and sold to private individuals, it was used as an agricultural warehouse until the restoration in 1954. Currently in a state of total abandonment and ruin. (Original) La pieve di Santa Maria a Corsano è un’antica chiesa romanica del XII secolo, probabilmente edificata dai Camaldolesi sui resti di un tempio pagano. Particolarmente interessante è la sua architettura, con una piccola torre campanaria addossata alla facciata, aperta da due ordini di bifore e con il portale d’ingresso alla base. Confiscata nel 1866 e venduta a privati, fu usata come magazzino agricolo fino al restauro del 1954. Attualmente in stato di totale abbandono e rovina.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful 12th century bell tower (Original) Bellissimo campanile del XII secolo

(Translated by Google) Very ancient church found almost by chance, leaving Piazza Mameli where the two most important museums of Anghiari are located; Built in the 12th century, it has undergone several changes. It preserves in its single nave interior, the beautiful "Madonna del Soccorso" in the Giusti Chapel, an equally beautiful bas-relief "Adoration of the Shepherds" and portions of frescoes from the 14th century. Absolutely worth visiting (Original) Chiesa antichissima che si trova quasi per caso, lasciando Piazza Mameli dove si trovano i due Musei più importanti di Anghiari; eretta nel XII secolo ha subito diverse modifiche. Conserva nel suo interno a navata unica, la bellissima "Madonna del Soccorso" nella Cappella Giusti, un altrettanto bellissimo bassorilievo "Adorazione dei Pastori" e porzioni di affreschi del XIV secolo. Assolutamente da visitare

(Translated by Google) In the 12th century this place was occupied by a chapel dedicated to S. Antonio Abate, which was then transformed into a larger church in the 14th century and enlarged in the 15th century by creating the apse-tower that distinguishes it. The simple and austere façade is closed between the houses of the alley while the interior, with a single nave, is decorated in baroque style and houses interesting paintings dating back to the first half of the 15th century. In the presbytery there is a valuable terracotta Nativity. (Original) Nel Xll secolo questo luogo era occupato da una cappella dedicata a S. Antonio Abate, che venne poi trasformata in una chiesa più grande nel XIV secolo e ampliata nel XV secolo realizzando l’abside-torrione che la contraddistingue. La semplice e austera facciata è chiusa tra le case del vicolo mentre l’interno, ad unica navata, è decorato in forme barocche e ospita interessanti pitture riconducibili alla prima meta del XV secolo. Nel presbiterio si trova una pregevole Natività in terracotta.

(Translated by Google) As we stand in front of the Chiesa di Sant'Agostino in Anghiari, we immediately realize that we are standing in front of a building with rich historical significance. The church, built in the 13th century, is a stunning example of medieval religious architecture and reflects the influence of the Augustinians in this region. As we approach the facade, we notice how simple yet majestic the architecture appears. The Gothic elements, emphasized by the pointed entrance portal and narrow windows, remind us that this was not only a place of prayer, but also a center of the city's spiritual life. Here the people of Anghiari have gathered for centuries to find solace and upliftment. Inside the church we feel the peaceful atmosphere that emanates from the high vaulted ceilings and the old stone walls. It is easy to imagine how monks and believers once prayed here in silence and received the spiritual teachings of the Augustinians. The frescoes that adorn some of the walls tell stories from the Bible and the lives of the saints, and although they have faded somewhat over the centuries, their artistic value is undeniable. These paintings date from the Renaissance, a period in which Anghiari was influenced by the artistic flourishing in Tuscany. Historically, the Chiesa di Sant'Agostino played a significant role in the social and spiritual life of the city. Throughout the region's centuries of unrest, war and change, it has remained a place of stability. It was not only a religious center, but also a place where important decisions for the community were made. Many of Anghiari's important families had their chapels here, and the church often served as a refuge in times of need. When we think of the church, we remember the important role it has played in the history of Anghiari, both as a religious institution and as a cultural and social hub. It is not only an architectural gem, but also a living part of the city's history - a place that is still embedded in the community today and is perceived by many people as a symbolic place of spiritual continuity and historical heritage. As of: September 25, 2024 *There is something magical about a deep soul connection: you never feel alone!* (Original) Als wir vor der Chiesa di Sant'Agostino in Anghiari stehen, wird uns sofort bewusst, dass wir uns vor einem Bauwerk mit reicher historischer Bedeutung befinden. Die Kirche, die im 13. Jahrhundert erbaut wurde, ist ein eindrucksvolles Beispiel für die religiöse Architektur des Mittelalters, und sie spiegelt den Einfluss der Augustiner in dieser Region wider. Als wir uns der Fassade nähern, bemerken wir, wie schlicht und doch majestätisch die Architektur wirkt. Die gotischen Elemente, die durch das spitze Eingangsportal und die schmalen Fenster betont werden, erinnern uns daran, dass dies nicht nur ein Ort des Gebets, sondern auch ein Zentrum des geistlichen Lebens der Stadt war. Hier versammelten sich die Menschen von Anghiari seit Jahrhunderten, um Trost und Erbauung zu finden. Im Inneren der Kirche spüren wir die friedliche Atmosphäre, die von den hohen Gewölbedecken und den alten, steinernen Wänden ausgeht. Es ist leicht vorstellbar, wie hier einst Mönche und Gläubige in der Stille beteten und die spirituelle Lehre der Augustiner empfingen. Die Fresken, die einige der Wände schmücken, erzählen Geschichten aus der Bibel und dem Leben der Heiligen, und auch wenn sie über die Jahrhunderte hinweg etwas verblasst sind, ist ihr künstlerischer Wert unbestreitbar. Diese Malereien stammen aus der Renaissance, einer Zeit, in der Anghiari von der künstlerischen Blüte in der Toskana beeinflusst wurde. Historisch gesehen spielte die Chiesa di Sant'Agostino eine bedeutende Rolle im sozialen und spirituellen Leben der Stadt. Während der Jahrhunderte der Unruhen, Kriege und Veränderungen in der Region, blieb sie ein Ort der Beständigkeit. Sie war nicht nur ein religiöser Mittelpunkt, sondern auch ein Ort, an dem wichtige Entscheidungen für die Gemeinschaft getroffen wurden. Viele der bedeutenden Familien Anghiaris hatten hier ihre Kapellen, und die Kirche diente oft als Zufluchtsort in Zeiten der Not. Wenn wir an die Kirche denken, erinnern wir uns an die wichtige Rolle, die sie in der Geschichte Anghiaris gespielt hat, sowohl als religiöse Institution als auch als kultureller und sozialer Knotenpunkt. Sie ist nicht nur ein architektonisches Juwel, sondern auch ein lebendiger Teil der Geschichte der Stadt – ein Ort, der bis heute in die Gemeinschaft eingebettet ist und von vielen Menschen als ein symbolischer Ort der spirituellen Kontinuität und des historischen Erbes wahrgenommen wird. Stand : 25.09.2024 *Eine tiefe Seelenverbindung hat etwas Magisches: du fühlst dich nie allein!*

(Translated by Google) Church that until today had gone unnoticed by me... Simple but which hides several frescoes inside... It is worth climbing 2 steps and seeing what lies in store for us inside (Original) Chiesa che fino ad oggi mi era passata inosservata... Semplice ma che cela al suo interno diversi affreschi.. Vale la pena di salire 2 gradini e vedere cosa ci riserva al suo interno

(Translated by Google) Among the oldest buildings in Anghiari, the church is pretty and certainly worth a visit (Original) Tra i più antichi edifici di Anghiari, la chiesa è carina e merita senz'altro una visita

(Translated by Google) A church set in the center of Anghiari. From the outside, given the bare façade you don't expect much, but once inside it appears a fresh and bright baroque church, complete with an altar decorated with stucco, some frescoes and some votive chapels. It won't leave you speechless but it's worth a visit. (Original) Una chiesa incastonata nel centro di Anghiari. Dall'esterno, data la facciata spoglia non ti aspetti granchè, una volta dentro invece appare una fresca e luminosa chiesa barocca, con tanto di altare decorato con stucchi, qualche affresco e alcune cappelle votive. Non vi lascerà a bocca aperta ma vale la pena visitarla.

(Translated by Google) The origins of the church of S. Agostino, according to the scholar Lorenzo Taglieschi, seem to be linked to the passage from Anghiari of Tommaso Beckett (1115-1170), the famous holy Chancellor of Henry II of England who was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury, in whose cathedral was murdered by the king's assassins. Beckett would have obtained in 1164 from Rolando di Montedoglio, the Abbot of San Bartolomeo, the charcoal pits of the Castle which were located outside the walls. In this place the Hospitallers of St. Anthony the Abbot (also called Tau or Vienne), who according to tradition arrived in the Tiber Valley following the archbishop of Canterbury, built hermitages and an oratory dedicated to St. Anthony. In 1188 this community accepted the rule of Saint Augustine. (Original) Le origini della chiesa di S. Agostino, secondo l'erudito Lorenzo Taglieschi, sembrano siano legate al passaggio da Anghiari di Tommaso Beckett (1115-1170), il famoso santo Cancelliere di Enrico Il d'Inghilterra che fu nominato Arcivescovo di Canterbury, nella cui cattedrale fu assassinato da sicari del re. Beckett avrebbe ottenuto nel 1164 da Rolando di Montedoglio, l'Abate di San Bartolomeo, le carbonaie del Castello che si trovavano fuori delle mura. In questo luogo gli Ospedalieri di S. Antonio Abate (detti anche del Tau o di Vienne), che secondo la tradizione sarebbero giunti in Valtiberina al seguito dell'arcivescovo di Canterbury, costruirono dei romitori ed un oratorio dedicato a sant'Antonio. Nel 1188 questa comunità accettò la regola di Sant'Agostino.

(Translated by Google) The most beautiful church in Anghiari greatly embellished by Florentine artists with works such as the last supper and the washing of the feet by Sogliani and the deposition by Puligo. Pretty (Original) La più bella chiesa di Anghiari impreziosita enormemente da artisti Fiorentini con opere come l'ultima cene e la lavanda dei piedi del Sogliani e la deposizione del Puligo. Bella

(Translated by Google) A last supper and a foot washing of great interest. Christ and Peter can be recognized with the same clothes and appearance, even if the two works were carried out 5 years apart from each other. Altar by Della Robbia, with a recent outdoor copy nearby. (Original) Un'ultima cena e un lavaggio dei piedi di grande interesse. Si riconoscono Cristo e Pietro con le stesse vesti e sembianze, pure se i due lavori sono stati eseguiti a distanza di 5 anni l'uno dall'altro.

(Translated by Google) As we enter the Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie in Anghiari, we immediately feel the deep historical and spiritual value of this place. The church, also known as Propositura Insigne, stands proudly in this medieval town, whose rich history is reflected in every stone and every alley. From the outside we are impressed by the simple yet elegant appearance of the facade, which is typical of Renaissance churches. As you enter the church, the atmosphere becomes calmer and more sublime. The high ceilings and ornate walls draw our eyes upward as we admire the beauty of the frescoes and altars. This church was built in the 15th century and is considered a significant example of Renaissance architecture in Tuscany. It was originally built to house a miraculous image of the Virgin Mary, which is particularly revered by believers in the region. In the middle of the main altar is the valuable image of the Madonna delle Grazie, which is considered the sacred center of the church. We feel the long tradition of faith that radiates from this place and can well imagine how generations of believers came here to seek comfort and help. What is particularly impressive is the connection between art and religious devotion, which is reflected in the church's furnishings. Around the main altar and in the side aisles we see several beautiful paintings and sculptures depicting various religious scenes. These works of art come from different eras and add to the sublime atmosphere. We also notice the special silence that fills the room and we sense that this is a place of contemplation and prayer. The history of the church is closely linked to that of Anghiari, a town known for its strategic location and the famous Battle of Anghiari in 1440. This battle, which took place nearby, was an important moment in Tuscan history and was even immortalized in a lost painting by Leonardo da Vinci. In this church, art, history and spirituality combine in a unique way. We feel deeply touched by the atmosphere in the Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie. It is not only a place of faith, but also a living monument of Tuscan art and culture. As of: September 25, 2024 *Many people know that they are unhappy. But even more people don't know that they are happy.* (Original) Als wir die Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie in Anghiari betreten, spüren wir sofort den tiefen historischen und spirituellen Wert dieses Ortes. Die Kirche, auch bekannt als Propositura Insigne, erhebt sich stolz in dieser mittelalterlichen Stadt, deren reiche Geschichte sich in jedem Stein und jeder Gasse widerspiegelt. Schon von außen beeindruckt uns das schlichte, aber dennoch elegante Erscheinungsbild der Fassade, die typisch für die Kirchen der Renaissance ist. Beim Betreten des Gotteshauses wird die Atmosphäre ruhiger und erhabener. Die hohen Decken und kunstvoll verzierten Wände ziehen unsere Blicke nach oben, während wir die Schönheit der Fresken und Altäre bewundern. Diese Kirche wurde im 15. Jahrhundert erbaut und gilt als ein bedeutendes Beispiel für die Renaissance-Architektur in der Toskana. Sie wurde ursprünglich errichtet, um ein wundertätiges Marienbild zu beherbergen, das von den Gläubigen in der Region besonders verehrt wird. In der Mitte des Hauptaltars steht das wertvolle Bildnis der Madonna delle Grazie, das als heiliger Mittelpunkt des Gotteshauses gilt. Wir spüren die lange Tradition des Glaubens, die dieser Ort ausstrahlt, und können uns gut vorstellen, wie Generationen von Gläubigen hierher kamen, um Trost und Hilfe zu suchen. Besonders beeindruckend ist die Verbindung zwischen der Kunst und der religiösen Hingabe, die sich in der Ausstattung der Kirche widerspiegelt. Rund um den Hauptaltar und in den Seitenschiffen sehen wir mehrere wunderschöne Gemälde und Skulpturen, die verschiedene religiöse Szenen darstellen. Diese Kunstwerke stammen aus verschiedenen Epochen und tragen zu der erhabenen Atmosphäre bei. Uns fällt auch die besondere Stille auf, die den Raum erfüllt, und wir spüren, dass dies ein Ort der Einkehr und des Gebets ist. Die Geschichte der Kirche ist eng mit der von Anghiari verbunden, einer Stadt, die für ihre strategische Lage und die berühmte Schlacht von Anghiari im Jahr 1440 bekannt ist. Diese Schlacht, die in der Nähe stattfand, war ein wichtiger Moment in der Geschichte der Toskana und wurde sogar von Leonardo da Vinci in einem verlorenen Gemälde verewigt. In dieser Kirche verbinden sich somit Kunst, Geschichte und Spiritualität auf einzigartige Weise. Wir fühlen uns tief berührt von der Atmosphäre in der Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie. Sie ist nicht nur ein Ort des Glaubens, sondern auch ein lebendiges Denkmal der toskanischen Kunst und Kultur. Stand : 25.09.2024 *Viele Menschen wissen, dass sie unglücklich sind. Aber noch mehr Menschen wissen nicht, dass sie glücklich sind.*

(Translated by Google) It is the most important place of worship in the town, in its single nave interior there are few works of art, definitely the most precious are "the Madonna della Misericordia" by Andrea della Robbia, "the last supper" by Giovanni Antonio Sogliani and the "washing of the feet" by Domenico Ubaldini from the 16th century, these works make the visit truly interesting. (Original) È il luogo di culto più importante della Cittadina, nel suo interno ad unica navata sono presenti poche opere d'arte, decisamente le più preziose sono "la Madonna della Misericordia" di Andrea della Robbia, "l'ultima cena" di Giovanni Antonio Sogliani e la "lavanda dei piedi" di Domenico Ubaldini del XVI secolo, queste opere rendono veramente interessante la visita.

(Translated by Google) The church is very beautiful and evocative, however getting up there by car is complicated, furthermore the church is located within a private property where horses graze and it is certainly not accessible to everyone. Everything was dark and dull inside, including the crypt where you have to go down with the torch. Too bad... a hidden treasure... (Original) La chiesa è molto bella e suggestiva, tuttavia arrivare fin lassù in auto è complicato, inoltre la chiesa si trova all’interno di una proprietà privata dove pascolano i cavalli e certamente non è accessibile a tutti. Era tutto buio e spento all’interno, compresa la cripta in cui bisogna scendere con la torcia. Peccato… un tesoro nascosto…

(Translated by Google) Citerna is a small and charming town near Città di Castello, classified as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. It preserves the medieval fortifications and the walkways on them intact. The name of the town probably derives from the enormous underground cisterns through which rainwater was collected and decanted. The modanna with the wooden child by Donatello and the fresco by Andrea de la Robbia are valuable. Little remains of the abbey after the bombings of World War II, from which you can admire the upper Tiber valley. (Original) Citerna è un piccolo e affascinante paese vicino Città di Castello, classificato come uno dei borghi più belli d'Italia. Conserva intatte le fortificazioni medievali e i camminementi su di esse. Il nome del paese deriva probabilmente dalle enormi cisterne sotterranee tramite le quali si raccoglieva e decantava l'acqua piovana. Pregievoli la modonna con il bambino di legno di Donatello e l'affresco di Andrea de la Robbia. Rimane poco dell'abbazia dopo i bombardamenti della II guerra mondiale, da cui si può ammirare la valle dell'alto Tevere.

(Translated by Google) Visited yesterday this small church in Cisterna, a small medieval town in the upper Tiber Valley on the border between Tuscany and Umbria. The Church boasts a work by Niccoló Circignani 1530-1597) known as Pomarancio because he was born in the town of Pomarance near Pisa. The work is a beautiful crucifixion with over 30 figures. Have fun finding a black man with glasses often interpreted as the evil one but probably representing a dirty chemist with scents. The same church boasts a work by Luca dell Robbia, a splendid Madonna with child restored in 2011. Tuscans omnipresent to raise the beauty and artistic level of many places in Italy. (Original) Visitata ieri questa piccola chiesa di Cisterna piccolo paese medievale nell'alta val Tiberina al confine fra Toscana e Umbria. La Chiesa vanta un'opera di Niccoló Circignani1530- 1597) detto il Pomarancio cosiddetto perché nato nel paese di Pomarance nei pressi di Pisa. L'opera è una bellissima crocifissione con oltre 30 figure. Divertitevi a trovare un uomo nero con gli occhiali spesso interpretato come il maligno ma probabilmente rappresentante un chimico sporco dagli effluvi. La stessa chiesa vanta un opera di Luca dell Robbia una splendida Madonna col bambino restaurata nel 2011. Toscani onnipresenti ad innalzare bellezza e livello artistico di moltissimi luoghi d'Italia.
