San Giovanni Valdarno
Itinerary
Between Arezzo and Florence lies San Giovanni Valdarno, the ancient Castel San Giovanni, one of the three Florentine Terrenuove. The birthplace of Masaccio, it offers visitors an extremely interesting urban layout. The large Palazzo d’Arnolfo, in the center of the square, richly decorated with coats of arms and flanked by an elegant loggia, emphasizes the typical medieval Florentine architecture . In the Museum of the Basilica of Santa maria delle Grazie one can admire works by Scheggia, Masaccio’s brother, and one of Beato Angelico’s Annunciations painted for the convent of Montecarlo, on the hills of San Giovanni Valdarno. In the church of San Lorenzo very interesting are a series of frescoes by Scheggia and a polyptych by Giovanni del Biondo with the theme of the Coronation of the Virgin and Saints.
