The Abbey of San Galgano and its filiations within the context of Tuscan-Umbrian spirituality and culture represent a significant example of Cistercian expansion in Tuscany. Founded in the 12th century with the support of the Volterrano episcopate, the abbey quickly gained importance, benefiting from the favor of city authorities. The text traces the history of the abbey from its origins to its transformation into a commend in the 16th century, highlighting the complex relationships with local lay and monastic communities. Archaeological research conducted between 2019 and 2024 revealed a stratification of settlement extending from the 13th to the 19th century, allowing reconstructions of architectural and socio-economic transformations. The study provides a concise overview of preserved documentation and suggests new avenues for research.
