San Pietro

San Pietro, Benedictine abbey in Firenzuola, Italy

San Pietro is a monastery in Firenzuola, Tuscany, of which few medieval traces remain: the 13th-century entrance portal to the monastery survives, with a pointed arch and toothed voussoirs. From the 14th century comes the porticoed courtyard. The present church was built more recently, and the abbey now houses the Museum of the Historical Landscape of the Apennines.

Founded in 1034 by Saint John Gualbert, though local sources also name Blessed Rodolfo dei Galigai as founder. The monastery prospered in the 13th century, the period of its few surviving medieval remains. In the 18th century a grand-ducal decree suppressed it, its goods were auctioned, and the church became a parish seat until 1986.

The abbey now houses the Museo del Paesaggio Storico dell'Appennino, part of the Mugello Alto Mugello Val di Sieve museum system. Its displays cover the historic landscape of the Apennines around Moscheta. The church itself became a parish seat in the 18th century, suppressed in 1986.

The complex is located in rural Tuscany and can be found easily with a GPS device or map. It is best to check ahead about opening times and museum access before visiting, especially if you want to see the interior collections.

According to local tradition, a flood once destroyed the original structure after the monastery's founder criticized its size. This story is part of the local folklore surrounding the site's founding and early years.
