In this volume the most interesting area of Tuscany from an artistic point of view, because of the density of its medieval towns (San Gimignano, Colle di Val d'Elsa, Monteriggioni, Casole d'Elsa, Siena) is examined for the first time through its less known monuments.
Imposing complexes,like the great monastery of "Abbazia a Isola", are discussed in depth both about their history and about their constructive and decorative chamges in a work that puts ninety-two Romanic buildings together, of which at least fifteen never presented before.
The volume follows the methodological structure of previous volume 1. Several aspects are faced, among which also the instruments for building the churches..
A work that, dealing with the so-called "Valdelsa senese" couples itself with the previous volume that refers to the "Valdelsa fiorentina"
This is a "must have" volume for the study of the Romanic Tuscany.
