Monte Oliveto Maggiore abbey, founded in 1313 by San Bernardo Tolomei. Here we are in the Crete Senesi , and the frame is a landscape of great beauty. To get there one must cross a park of cypresses that surround the Abbey, the convent and the chapels. Under the artistic profile the most interesting thing is the cycle of frescoes regarding the life of San Benedetto (open 9,30-12/15,30-18) painted in the cloister by Luca Signorelli (1497_1498) and Giovanni Bazzi known as Sodoma (1505-1508). Mass officiated by the Oliveto monks and made more solemn by the Gregorian chanting make this Easter in a special way.
