San Romolo a Gaville

The religious structure features three naves divided by quadrilateral pillars and monolithic columns, with capitals displaying varied animal and geometric decorations.

Construction of the church began in 1007 under the Ubertini family and Bishop Raimondo of Fiesole, reaching pillar height by 1030 and completion in 1070.

The capitals within the church contain intricate carvings depicting biblical narratives, including the creation of the world and various sacred texts.

Adjacent to the church, the Casa della Civiltà Contadina museum houses over 7,000 agricultural artifacts documenting the region's farming heritage.

The church's bell tower contains three historical bells from different periods: 1215, 1620, and 1954, marking centuries of continuous religious activity.
