The Medieval village of Chiusdino The village of Chiusdino rises within the remains of its ancient ring of walls, whose inside it is possible to see some rural houses showing typical Medieval features. Very interesting is the Saint Galgano's Company Church on whose facade it is possible to admire a bass-relief made by Urbano da Cortona in XV-th century, portraying "Saint Galgano". On the left side of the Saint Galgano's Company Church rises the native house of Galgano Guidotti where it is possible to admire a bass-relief portraying "Saint Michael Archangel Apparition to Saint Galgano", that is a copy of the original by Giovanni di Agostino (1311-1348).
The building of the Parish House saves the original art work made by Giovanni di Agostino and also numerous valuable goldsmithery objects dating back to the XII-th and XIII-th century and a plate portraying an "Our Lady with the Child" painted in 1336 by Niccolò di Segna (who was active from 1331 to 1345).
