SAN GALGANO'S CHAPEL



This little Romanesque chapel with it's red and honey colored striped dome houses the remains of an Italian saint whose story is the mirror image of King Arthur's. The little knight, San Galgano said to the Archangel Michael as he thrust his sword downward, "I could sooner place my sword in this stone than become a saint." But there his sword is, to this day, buried in the stone. The chapel was built above it. Many Italians choose to marry here and it is a popular place for family gatherings and in summer, opera in the nearby roofless abby of San Galgano.
