	San Miniato - white truffles of San Miniato in Tuscany
		San Miniato is an extremely ancient settlement, as is demonstrated by the discovery of prehistoric artifacts in the area.
		San Miniato's importance in the Mediaeval period was above all due its position at the meeting point of the rivers Arno and Elsa, and of the road from Pisa to Firenze and the Francigena.
		San Miniato was the scene of the territorial battles and devastation for all of the XIV C. In 1313 alone, it lost various territories that rebelled against its dominion or were conquered by Pisa.

		Our first stop was at the Basilica di San Francesco, the first and most elaborate of the Franciscan churches.
		It is rather ironic because the ornate interior of the church, covered with frescoes (and lots of blue paint made from rare and expensive lapis lazuli) contradicts the vow of poverty prescribed by Franciscan teaching.
		Probably one of the most interesting aspects of the church is the body of Saint Clare, apparently very well preserved when it was originally found almost 400 years after her death.

		Sectile in marbles is found in Santa Sabina, Rome (425-450), in the baptistery of the cathedral, Ravenna; in San Vitale Ravenna (sixth century); at Parenzo (sixth century); in Sancta Sophia at Constantinople and at Thessalonica (sixth century); its use thus has been continuous ever since, and was an especial feature of the Renaissance.
		In Florence the mosaics of the baptistery commenced in 1225 by Jacobus, a Franciscan, were continued at the end of the century by Andrea Tafi, Gaddo Gaddi, Apollonio, and afterwards by Agnolo Gaddi.
		In the first half of the seventeenth century the painting and frescoes of the basilica began to be imitated in mosaic.

		A sinistra rimangono i resti degli antichi bastioni, con la torre campanaria di Baccio d'Agnolo (1518) che pare quasi un frammento di fortificazione romana.
		Davanti, al centro della navata maggiore, la bellissima e raffinata Cappella del Crocifisso, un'edicola marmorea rinascimentale eseguita da Michelozzo (1448) per volontà di Piero dé Medici come custodia del venerato Crocifisso detto di San Giovanni Gualberto, ora in Santa Trinita: sulla volta a botte terracotte di Luca della Robbia, sull'altare una tavola di Agnolo Gaddi.

		The spectacular facade of San Miniato was to inspire Alberti 's completion of the facade of Santa Maria Novella in the 15th century and the covering of the facades of the Duomo and Santa Croce in the 19th century.
		Apart from several 14th and 15th century frescoes, the righthand nave contains the remains of St. Miniato, an altar with a cuspidate panel, the masterpiece of Jacopo del Casentino, and the entrance to the Sacristy, frescoed by Spinello Aretino with Stories of St. Benedict (1387 c.
		The Monumental Cemetery (known as "of the Holy Gates") outside the Basilica is also well worth a visit; it was carried out in the last century in the conventual area, inside the fortified enclosure created by Michelangelo in 1529.

		The exact date when the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte was constructed is not known, but it is thought that building started on a Benedictine abbey around about 1015; the date 1207 marked into the paving indicates the year in which the essential parts of the work are presumed to have been completed.
		In 1499 the original bell tower collapsed, and in 1518 it was replaced by the one designed by Baccio d'Agnolo, which was never completed.
		The church and the convent belong to the Olivatans, a Benedictine congregation whose central base is at Monte Oliveto.

		Everyone in Florence knows Piazzale Michelangelo, but not many have explored the hill of San Miniato, with its peaceful winding lanes that climb up as far as the Church of San Salvatore al Monte and Fort Belvedere, which the Grand Duke Ferdinando I de' Medici built as a defence for the city.
		We will start our walk from the Gate of San Miniato, climb up to Piazzale Michelangelo to explore the area around the monumental buildings of the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte and then go back down the hill to reach the Tower of San Niccolò, which gives onto a splendid panoramic view.
		This is a short but extremely interesting walk that will take us past monuments famous for their art, as well as places that have played a vital part in the history of Florence, and will also show us many of the suggestive and little known aspects of the hill of San Miniato.

		Finally, we went to San Lorenzo, which was the cathedral before the Duomo was built (the Duomo had been erected on the site of another church, Santa Reparata, and parts of that church's foundation, and other finds, are on display at the Duomo).
		But here's the wonderful part: San Marco was the monastery of Fra Angelico (also known as Beato Angelico), who was the prior of this church and monastery in the mid-15th century.
		The irony of the entire situation at San Marco is that a later prior was somewhat the anti-Angelico, in a manner of speaking.

		The magnificent view from the hilltop church of San Miniato has changed little since the 16th century.
		It looks out across the brick-red rooftops of Florence, a sea of terracotta tiles interrupted only by the hulking domes of San Lorenzo and the Duomo, and the fairytale tower of the Palazzo Vecchio.
		The massive contribution it has made to Western civilisation and culture is out of all proportion to its diminutive size.
