Donatello in Tuscany

“To find a Donatello in the countryside is almost a miracle”: these are the words of one of the most reliable art historian Tomaso Montanari, referring to the rare possibility of finding a work by the Florentine sculptor Donatello in the countryside.
In Torrita di Siena, a village located in the heart of the Valdichiana, this happened.

In the Church of Santa Croce there is a lunette made by the artist himself in 1400. A treasure of inestimable value jealously guarded by the community and which we invite you to admire with our tour. A qualified guide will accompany you in the discovery of this town rich in history, which has been a bulwark of the Republic of Siena for centuries. The guide will reveal you all the secrets that this lunette has been carrying with it for more than 600 years.
