The guide gives the tourist, the student, or the simply curious the opportunity to enrich his visit or study with the enjoyment of a land whose charm has remained intact as it has always maintained a fundamental equilibrium between man and nature. The guide gives the reader nine suggested itineraries; it would be impossible for the Abbey of San Galgano not to be at the centre of these, a temple that has a meadow for a pavement and a sky for a ceiling, and also the Rotonda of Montesiepi, the jewel of the age of Romanic Art.
