Church of the Holy Sepulchre ---

The monumental complex of the Church and Monastery of the S. Sepolcro, an ancient Vallombrosian monastery founded in 1107, is located in the pleasant Valle d'Astino. The church was consecrated a decade after the congregation's founding, in 1117. A first expansion took place with the construction of the Cappella del S. Sepolcro (1500) and, from around 1540 until the end of the century, the church was restructured and renovated in its decorations thanks to fresco cycles executed by painters Cristoforo Baschenis il Vecchio and Giovan Battista Guarinoni, works partially recovered today thanks to a recent restoration. During this period, new furnishings and structures were also created, such as the sacristy, the bell tower, and the current deep presbytery, so that they would comply with the decrees of the Council of Trent.
