The San Galgano Abbey, an Archaeological Project in Tuscany

Archaeological research endeavours in the San Galgano Abbey are looking for the ‘alfa and the omega’, in other words, the beginning and end of the monument, as well as the Cistercian monks that built it not only with their faith, but also with their expertise in reclaiming and controlling the land. Then came the disputes and the political and economic interests that would mark the life of the abbey forever. Today, the town of Chiusdino is supporting a research project that is currently being conducted by the Department of History and Cultural Heritage of the University of Siena. The aim of the project is to study the San Galgano Abbey and to shed light on its history, starting with research about its structure and life until its ultimate deterioration, while taking into account the restoration work carried out over the past two centuries. Professors Marco Valenti and Alessandra Nardini have been appointed as scientific director and project coordinator respectively.
