This book aims to provide an intriguing journey through the most important monastic sites in Tuscany, looking beyond their immediate beauty.

The basis of the work comprises high quality photographs and a text whose purpose is to provide a brief summary of the history, geografy and spirituality of the phenomenon of monasticism.

The book's main purpose is to offer the reader a tool so that he can gradually grasp the dimension of silence, harmony and balance in the monasteries and hermitages together with their position in the landscape. In addition, we want to make the vibrations given off by the walls, sculptures and decorations come alive, even when they have become part of ruins or buildings in disrepair.

In this volume we have gathered the most beautiful and significant examples among the hundreds of "pievi" (parishes) that existed in the region since the first centuries of Christianity.

It is a fascinating trip in search of buildings and places often far from the noise and haste of everyday life; places which induces to contemplation and meditation.

This book is also intended as an invitation to go along the same itineraries of the photographers who caught the light on ancient wall hangings, facades, apses, stone pillars or columns in the interiors, paying the right tribute to so many humble and unknown builders.

This is a book which has to be read open-heartedly in order of not to miss the thrills and beauty it intends to offer you.

A "photografic journey" among the most beautiful places and landscapes of Tuscany required us to face the difficult task of choosing the most interesting and significant subjects to be immortalised.

Since we wanted to give our route an organic structure, we divided it into four large areas which cover almost the entire territory of Tuscany.

The obvious starting place is Florence, with its land that reflects the taste for measure and balance of its chief town.

The second itinerary features the area which goes from the Lunigiana, crossing Lucca, touching Pisa, Volterra and Livorno, and then reaching Pistoia, Prato, the Mugello, the Pratomagno, the Casentino, Arezzo and the Valdichiana.

The thirt part presents Sienna and its land, where the Valdelsa stands out along with the pearl of San Gimignano, the Val di Merse with San Galgano, the Chianti, the "Crete" and the Valdorcia with their landscapes and their beautiful centres.

The journey ends in the vast land of the Maremma, from the heights of the Colline Metallifere to the coast, on to inland tuff made centres, ending on the slopes of Mount Amiata.
