Church of Sant'Andrea in Barbiana, Rural Catholic church in Barbiana, Vicchio, Italy
The stone church occupies a strategic position on Monte Giovi slopes, featuring traditional Tuscan architectural elements and religious artworks throughout its interior spaces.
The current building replaced an earlier 14th-century structure known as Sant'Andrea dei Culvalieri, with the Bizzeri family maintaining initial patronage until 1589.
Don Lorenzo Milani established an educational center at this church from 1954 to 1967, implementing teaching methods focused on supporting students from different backgrounds.
Visitors need to schedule appointments through the San Giovanni Battista parish in Vicchio by calling +39 055844167 before accessing the church premises.
Students from Don Milani's school created a glass mosaic titled Santo Scolaro inside the church, applying techniques learned during their educational trip to Germany.
