Entrance fee € 4; discounted € 2. Montepulciano_Domenico Beccafumi, the artist as a young man Curated by Alessandro Angelini and Roberto Longi Asciano, Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore Opening hours: 9.00 a.m.-noon/3.00-6.00 p.m.; closes on Sunday morning at 12.30 Free entrance - Giovanni Antonio Bazzi AKA Sodoma, Stories of St. Benedict, cloister The extraordinary series of frescoes in the Great Cloister of the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, already created, in part, by Luca Signorelli (1497-1498), was finished by Sodoma between 1505 and 1508 with the 26 missing lunettes (one scene, that of Mauro and Placido taking leave of St. Benedict, was eventually repainted by Riccio). In the last scenes there is a noticeable upgrade to Leonardo and Raphael’s Florentine innovations. Pienza, Monastery of Sant’Anna in Camprena The complex of Sant’Anna in Camprena, now a holiday farm, is accessible to visitors only during its seasonal opening times starting on the 15th of April 2017. It is possible to visit the Refectory alone, every day from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. with a few exceptions. Groups of over 10 people must book their visit at least one day in advance. Contact numbers: +39 338 4079284 - +39 0578 748037 E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] We remind you that access to tourist buses is not advised. Tours for individual visitors and groups alike will be suspended on the following days: May: Thursday 11th June: Saturday 3rd, Saturday 10th, Friday 16th, Saturday 17th, Saturday 24th Free entrance - Giovanni Antonio Bazzi AKA Sodoma, Frescoes in the Refectory The series of frescoes in the refectory of the Olivetan monastic complex of Sant’Anna in Camprena, executed between 1503 and 1504, is Sodoma’s first assignment in Tuscany, “with that bright manner of colouring, which he had brought from Lombardy”, to quote Vasari; Leonardo’s influence on his art can be clearly seen, as well as his adherence to Pinturicchio’s and Perugino’s protoclassicist language, which was largely present and widespread in Siena. Sarteano, Church of San Lorenzo: Opening hours: every day, 8.30 a.m.-6.30 p.m. Free entrance - Lorenzo di Mariano AKA Marrina, Eucharistic tabernacle - Lorenzo di Mariano AKA Marrina (?), sepulchral stone of the Piccolomini Tedeschini family The Eucharistic tabernacle was created in 1514, in the shape of a small classic temple, for Francesco di Nanni Pilli from Sarteano, most loyal to Cardinal Francesco Tedeschini Piccolomini (later Pius III) and his family. It was sculpted by Lorenzo di Mariano AKA Marrina, whose atelier probably produced the sepulchral stone of the Tedeschini Piccolomini family, originally from these lands, which is placed in the choir area. Sarteano, Sala d’Arte Beccafumi (Church of San Martino) Opening hours: from March to May, on Saturday and Sunday: 10.30 a.m.-12.30 p.m./4.00- 6.00 p.m.; from June, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday: 10.30 a.m.-12.30 p.m./4.00-6.00 p.m. Entrance fee: € 3; free for children and teens under 18 - Girolamo di Giovanni del Pacchia, Angel of the Annunciation, Virgin of the Annunciation Girolamo del Pacchia (Siena, 1477-1530 ca.) Angel and Virgin of the Annunciation. Oil on panel, 167X88 cm (each). Sarteano, Sala d’Arte Domenico Beccafumi [Domenico Beccafumi Art Hall], ca. 1514 Originally from the church of San Lorenzo, the two panels representing the protagonists of the Annunciation belong to the period when Girolamo del Pacchia was at his prime, that is the second decade of the XVI century, when the influence of Raphael’s work on the Sienese artist was at its 2 strongest. It most likely is a commission from the Piccolomini Tedeschini family. Torrita di Siena, Church of Saints Flora and Lucilla Opening hours: 10.00 a.m.-12.30 p.m./ 3.00-6.00 p.m. Free entrance - Lorenzo di Mariano AKA Marrina, Bust of Saint Catherine of Siena (from the Collegiate church of Saints Martino and Costanzo) Lorenzo di Mariano, AKA Marrina (Siena, 1476-1534). Saint Catherine of Siena. Painted terracotta. Torrita di Siena, Collegiate church of San Martino, ca. 1510 This precious painted terracotta bust representing Saint Catherine of Siena was donated to Torrita’s Collegiate church in 1848, while its original destination remains unknown. The work belongs to a relatively young Marrina, as is evident from the noticeable similarities with the sculptures of Giovanni di Stefano, who had once been Lorenzo di Mariano’s teacher. San Quirico d’Orcia_From Sodoma to Riccio: Sienese painting in the latter decades of the Republic Curated by Gabriele Fattorini and Laura Martini Chiusure, Municipality of Asciano, Church of San Michele Arcangelo Opening hours: from Monday to Saturday, from 10.00 a.m. to noon, by reservation only (tel. +39 0577 707131) Free entrance - Bartolomeo Neroni AKA Riccio, Madonna and Child with Saint Benedict and Saint Michael the Archangel Signed and dated 1533 by Riccio, the painting is one of the artist’s oldest works. It was commissioned by the monks of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, who at the time were the young master’s main clients. Asciano, Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore Opening hours: 9.00 a.m.-noon/3.00-6.00 p.m.; closes on Sunday morning at 12.30 Free entrance - Bartolomeo Neroni AKA Riccio, Stories of St. Benedict: The Way to Calvary, Benedict sends Mauro to France and Placido to Sicily During the ‘30s of the XVI century, Bartolomeo Neroni worked several times for Monte Oliveto Maggiore, integrating the previous work of Luca Signorelli and Giovanni Antonio 3 Bazzi AKA Sodoma with his own frescoes. Pienza, Palazzo Borgia - Museo Diocesano [Diocesan Museum] Opening hours: every day except Tuesday, 10.30 a.m.-1.30 p.m./2.30-6.00 p.m. Entrance ticket: € 4.50; discounted € 3.00 - Marco Bigio/Giomo del Sodoma (?), Holy Family with the Infant St. John The painting, equipped with its original frame, is an excellent example of tondo for private use and shows its author’s reliance on Sodoma’s painting style. Sarteano, Sala d’Arte Beccafumi (Church of San Martino) Opening hours: from March to May, on Saturday and Sunday: 10.30 a.m.-12.30 p.m./4.00- 6.00 p.m.; from June, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday: 10.30 a.m.-12.30 p.m./4.00-6.00 p.m. Entrance fee: € 3; free for children and teens under 18 - Domenico Beccafumi, Annunciation - This moving picture of the Annunciation, executed in 1545-1546 for Antonio di Gabriello from Sarteano, is the last altarpiece made by Beccafumi in his long career. Sinalunga, Collegiate Church of San Martino Opening hours: from Monday to Saturday, 9.30 a.m.-noon/3.30-6.00 p.m.; Sunday 9.30- 11.00 a.m. Free entrance - Girolamo del Pacchia, Deposition from the Cross - Giovanni Antonio Bazzi AKA Sodoma and atelier, Madonna and Child with Saints The two altarpieces face each other in the transept of Sinalunga’s Collegiate church, placed behind twin altars. It is only in the XVII century that they were brought here. Girolamo del Pacchia painted the Deposition around 1530, with a style still reminiscent of Raphael, for the original seat of the confraternity of Santa Croce. The Madonna and Child with Saints, painted with a devout spirit by Sodoma between 1540-1545, comes instead from the old church of the company of San Rocco. Sinalunga, Church of San Michele in La Fratta Opening hours: the chapel can be visited every day from 11.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m.; upon request, visitors can book a guided tour with admission fee by calling the following number at least 4 days in advance: +39 334 3390664. Free entrance - Giovanni Antonio Bazzi AKA Sodoma, Madonna with Child and Saints, Saint Francis and Saint Jerome 4 This lively series of frescoes was painted by Sodoma, with the support of his atelier, in the ‘30s of the XVI century for the Pannilini family, then owner of the villa complex that is thought to have been designed by Baldassarre Peruzzi. Trequanda, Church of Saints Pietro and Andrea Opening hours: every day, 8.00 a.m.-5.00 p.m. Free entrance - Giovanni Antonio Bazzi AKA Sodoma and atelier, Ascension of Christ This colourful fresco embellishes an altar that once belonged to the Sozzini family and, along with Andrea Sansovino’s Madonna and Child, attests that two great artists of the “Maniera Moderna” worked for this church between the third and fourth decades of the XVI century. Pienza_Francesco Rustici, “genteel” Caravaggesque Curated by Marco Ciampolini and Roggero Roggeri Buonconvento, Museo d'Arte Sacra della Val d'Arbia [Sacred Art Museum of the Val d'Arbia] Opening hours: Friday, 10.00 a.m.-1.00 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 10.00 a.m.-1.00 p.m./3.00-6.00 p.m. Entrance fee: € 3.00; discounted € 2.00 (cumulative ticket allowing entry to the Museo della Mezzadria: € 5.00) - Rutilio Manetti, Madonna in heaven in glory with angels, Saint Alban and Saint Peter the Apostle A work belonging to the painter’s late-mannerist phase, it showcases Manetti’s ability of drawing modern seventeenth-century elements from Barocci’s traditional style such as the realistic portrayal of people and objects.

  • The Advance to Highway 68
    LiiAr ILK V ******«»»,,«*,,,* The Advance to Highway 68 W N 21 June the front line of Fifth Army stretched from a point about eight miles north of Grosseto near the west coast eastward to the Eighth Army boundary in the vicinity of Sarteano. The troops were entering the Tuscan hill country with the valleys of the Ombrone and Tiber Rivers now behind them. On the right the French were up against the Orcia River; all along the line the most difficult coun­ try yet encountered north of Rome lay just ahead, and evidences of the stiffening German defense were slowly accumulating. On the extreme left, where troops of the 36th Division were pressing into the hills bordering the north and northwest side of the Ombrone Valley, the coastline swings sharply northwest, thus increasing the frontage of the IV Corps zone and necessitating the use of another division. The plan of IV Corps was to continue the 36th Division along the coastline, following the general axis of Highway 1, while the 1st Armored Division advanced abreast on the right flank, through rugged mountains and over a multitude*of small roads and trails. The 36th Division received a zone about 12 miles wide; the 1st Armored Division front covered a slightly wider area, at places reaching a width of nearly 20 miles. The French front, now divided between the 3d Algerian In­ fantry Division on the left and the 2d Moroccan Infantry Division on the right, fol­ lowing relief of the 1st Motorized Division, was approximately 25 miles wide, split nearly evenly between the two divisions.
