Castelfiorentino
Description:
The little town of Castelfiorentino lies in the valley of the River Elsa, some 40km southwest of Florence Castelfiorentino was founded as a stronghold directed against the Sienese, but has preserved few remains of those earlier warlike times. The Church of San Francesco (begun in 1213) has a facade decorated with coats of arms. Behind it is the Church of Santa Verdiana, built in the 18th century on the site of the earlier Parish Church of Sant'Antonio; it has a lively Baroque facade (designed by Bernardo Fallani) and an interior (aisled) in Baroque style. Adjoining it is the small municipal gallery (Pinacoteca), with some good pictures, mainly by medieval artists, notable for their deep sincerity and piety as well as their beauty.Nalon Weddings Italy
