Monastero di Santa Maria a Rosano, Benedictine monastery in Rosano, Italy
The monastery features a Romanesque church with three naves divided by quadrilateral pillars and a semicircular apse alongside a Renaissance cloister.
Founded in 780, the monastery experienced destruction by Florentine forces in 1143 but underwent rapid reconstruction under the patronage of the Guidi family.
The resident Benedictine nuns maintain traditional practices through Gregorian chants and Latin offices in their daily religious ceremonies.
Located at Borgo del Monastero 13 in Rignano sull'Arno, the monastery stands near Pontassieve and several kilometers from Bagno a Ripoli.
The monastery houses a 12th-century painted Cross, restored by Opificio delle Pietre Dure di Firenze, recognized as one of Italy's oldest painted panels.
