The Pinacoteca Comunale di Castiglion Fiorentino is housed in the
ancient, restored church of Sant Angelo, inside the defensive
enclosure of the Cassero. The church has medieval foundations from
the eleventh century, but in the sixteenth century it was turned
into a convent and its original apse was replaced by a nun s choir.
Its collections mainly comprise works of sacred art, including
major paintings of the Tuscan school from the thirteenth to
seventeenth centuries, and rare examples of medieval goldwork. All
the works are from churches and monasteries in Castiglion
Fiorentino and environs. The first part of the book is a guide to
the museum itself, with photographs, descriptions of the works, and
background information. The second part takes the reader on a route
through the historical center of Castiglion Fiorentino and the Val
di Chiana Aretina region.
