Editori dell'Acero 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.

Price for online purchases: € 31,20. Shipment and handling: please ask. Editori dell'Acero On exploring the Tuscan countryside, a land where the past has left behind a rich number of traces, we should be looking for the origins of the relationship between our soul and history, the real, everyday culture, and the roots of the emotions that are triggered off by contact with what we see. Therefore, the beauty is not a banal and superficial escape, but a starting point for a search that does not lies outside our feelings, but is rather aimed at understanding the history of the places in their wider sense: places as the expression of the spirit of those who came before us. These places are kind a sort of archetype of certain ideas and images which have accompanied us since childhood. And so if we bring emotion into our search for knowledge, the emotion will have the chance to link to objective references, to facts, to material objects whose form, style and poetic language we will be able to better understand.
