Places to see in ( Montalcino - Italy ) Abbazia di Sant'Antimo
The Abbey of Sant'Antimo, Italian: Abbazia di Sant'Antimo, is a former Benedictine monastery in the comune of Montalcino, Tuscany, central Italy. It is approximately 10 km from Montalcino about 9 km from the Via Francigena, the pilgrim route to Rome. The name of the abbey may refer to Saint Anthimus of Rome, whose relics were supposedly moved here during the late 8th century.
After many years of disuse, the abbey was reoccupied in 1992 by a small community of Premonstratensian Canons Regular. Since January 2016, the occupants are a community of monks of the Olivetan Benedictine order. A tributary of the river Orcia, the Starcia, runs near the abbey.
In 1291 Pope Nicholas IV ordered the union of the abbey with the Guglielmites, a reformed branch of the Benedectines, in order to give back strength to the abbey. However, after another period of decay in the 15th century, Pope Pius II annexed St. Antimus to the new diocese of Montalcino-Pienza (1462), whose bishop was Pius' nephew. The abbey decayed to the point that in the 19th century it was used as stable. In the 1870s the Italian state restored it. In 1992 the abbey became again an active monastery with the arrival of a new religious community of Canons Regular of the Order of Premontre.
Of the Carolingian edifice, the apse (called Cappella Carolingia) and the portal, richly decorated with animal and vegetable motifs, are visible. The Carolingian chapel has frescoes by Giovanni d'Asciano with stories of St. Benedict and currently acts as sacristy. Under the chapel is a crypt with a nave and two aisles divided by four columns. The Sala Capitolare (Capitular Hall) is decorated with a triple mullioned window with richly decorated capitals.
Typically French in inspiration is the ambulatory with radial chapels. In Italy this scheme is known only in Santa Trinità of Venosa and the Cathedrals of Acerenza and Aversa, all in southern Italy, and in Santa Maria of Piè di Chianti, Marche. The ambulatory housed the pilgrims to pray the Martyrium, the place where the Saint's relic are placed. The aisles and the ambulatory are groin vaulted, while the nave has trusses. The nave, which is c. 20-m high, is divided into three sections: the huge arcades, the matronaeum and the chiaropiano (upper floor).
Notable is the so-called capital of Daniel in the lions' den, work of the French Master of Cabestany. It shows Daniel praying between the hungry lions, and, on the other sides, the lions devouring the accusers. The outer walls are made of Alabaster, you can shine a light against the walls and see the light translated/reflected back out to the eye.

ABBAZIA DI SANT'ANTIMO in Toscana - HD
© CLAUDIO MORTINI *
L'abbazia, gioiello di architettura medievale, sorge a 9 chilometri da Montalcino nella valle del torrente Starcia, un affluente del fiume Orcia, in prossimità del paese di Castelnuovo dell'Abate. Si tratta di uno dei più bei monumenti di stile romanico, con evidenti richiami ai modelli francesi e lombardi. Secondo un'antica leggenda l'abbazia fu fondata da Carlo Magno, che, ritornando da Roma insieme al suo seguito, nel transitare lungo il tracciato della Via Francigena, sostò nella Val di Starcia a causa del pericolo scatenato da un'epidemia di peste. Si racconta che l'imperatore fece voto affinché questo flagello cessasse e per la grazia ricevuta fondò l'abbazia di Sant'Antimo.
Purtroppo non è possibile ricostruire con precisione la storia dell'abbazia, poiché gran parte della documentazione ad essa relativa è andata perduta in un incendio. È possibile vedere i resti dell'originaria struttura di età carolingia nella zona absidale del tempio monumentale dove si scorge la piccola absidiola dell'antica pieve, oggi sagrestia, affrescata all'interno con scene della vita di san Benedetto (Giovanni D'Asciano, XIV sec.) e la piccola cripta, divisa in tre navate da quattro colonne con pulvino di porfido.
L'attuale chiesa risale al 1118 circa, come attesta un'iscrizione incisa sull'altare maggiore. La costruzione della chiesa e del convento richiese un impegno costruttivo al di sopra delle possibilità economiche dei monaci benedettini e questo non consentì di ultimare né la facciata, né parte dei locali di servizio dei monaci. Il periodo di decadenza culminò nell'anno 1462, quando Papa Pio II soppresse l'abbazia e la incorporò nella Diocesi di Montalcino.
Una delle caratteristiche che contraddistinguono il tempio monumentale è il materiale con cui essa è costruita: la struttura è infatti completamente edificata in una roccia travertinosa con venature di alabastro, proveniente dalla vicina cava di Castelnuovo dell'Abate; questa pietra le conferisce un effetto di lucentezza sempre diverso a seconda delle variazioni cromatiche del cielo e della campagna circostante.
_______________The abbey , a jewel of medieval architecture , and is 9 kilometers from Montalcino in the valley of Starcia , a tributary of the river Orcia , near the village of Castelnuovo Abbot . It is one of the most beautiful monuments of the Romanesque style, with clear references to the French models and Lombard . According to legend , the abbey was founded by Charlemagne, who , returning from Rome and her court , in passing along the route of the Via Francigena , in the Val di Starcia stopped because of the danger unleashed a plague epidemic . It is said that the emperor vowed that this scourge ceased and for the grace received founded the abbey of Sant 'Antimo .
Unfortunately it is not possible to accurately reconstruct the history of the abbey , as most of the documentation relating to it has been lost in a fire . You can see the remains of the original structure of the Carolingian period in the apse of the monumental temple where you can see the small apse of the old church , sacristy today , painted inside with scenes from the life of St. Benedict (John D' Asciano , XIV sec . ) and the small crypt, divided into three naves by four columns with impost block of porphyry .
The present church dates back to circa 1118 , according to an inscription engraved on the high altar . The construction of the church and the convent required a constructive engagement over the economic possibilities of the Benedictine monks and this is not allowed to complete either the front or part of the premises of the service of the monks. The period of decline culminating in the year 1462, when Pope Pius II suppressed the abbey and incorporated in the Diocese of Montalcino.
One of the features that distinguish the monumental temple is the material with which it is built : the structure is completely built in a travertine rock with veins of alabaster , from the nearby quarry Castelnuovo Abbot , this stone gives it a gloss effect always different depending on the changes in color of the sky and the surrounding countryside.

Путешествие по Италии - что посмотреть за 9 дней | Traveling in Italy - what to see in 9 days
В этом фильме (который состоит из более чем 20 частей) я расскажу Вам о нашем очередном путешествии на автомобиле по Италии, которое мы совершили с 30 мая по 8 июня 2017г.

- Portofino,
- Lucca,
- Volterra,
- San Gimignano,

Мы исключили из маршрута такие большие города, как Флоренцию и Сиену, так как уже бывали в этих городах ранее.
Не все из запланированного удалось осуществить, так, например, не смогли погулять по городу Spoleto (физически не хватило времени) и увидеть знаменитый мраморный каскад Marmore Waterfalls (когда мы добрались туда в 17:00, то оказалось, что его уже закрыли).
В этом регионе есть еще большое количество красивых и древних городов, терм и других достопримечательностей, достойных внимания, о которых, возможно, я расскажу в своем следующем путешествии по Италии.
С удовольствием выслушаю Ваши советы и рекомендации о самых любимых Вами городах и достопримечательностях Италии, которые я постараюсь включать в свое следующее путешествие!
