Museo d'Arte Sacra di San Francesco di Greve in Chianti

Chianti


Located on a steep street off Via Roma, this former convent has a modest collection of art and an exterior terrace overlooking the surrounding countryside. The pride of the collection is a 15th-century stucco Madonna and Child (c1420–30) by Nanni di Bartolo.
