POMAIA
Pomaia is a little village set among
the green hills of Pisa, placed in one of the most
beautiful Tuscany countryside. It is a typical Medieval stoned
village.
The historical centre is made
up of small houses and the only building is in the church
square. It is probably the original core.
During the last years, this village has become famous for
a Tibetan Buddhist centre, from
the same school of Dalai Lama, who has visited the centre
several times. In this place of brotherhood and peace, the
monks have built a little Tibetan centre, its chorten (stupas
or statues), its prayers and its holy paintings.
The visit of the Buddhist centre in Pomaia is a chance of
inter-religious meeting. |
SANTA LUCE
It is set on the east slope of the valley
of the river Fine and its borough stretches for 66.72
sq. Km. in a hill-side between Val d'Era and Valle del Savalano.
The urban arrangement of the village is characteristic of the
hilly villages. Santa Luce is made up of a bunch of houses
lined with the walls that shielded the castle, now just a large
tower and a piece of wall.
During the years, the old village has
not suffered remarkable changes. Beneath the first walls,
the houses are lined following a probable second walls.
There is also a church that rises
on a Romanic floor and inside there is a superb baptismal font,
carved in an alabaster block.
An outstanding building is the Palace
of Municipality (Palazzo Comunale) that keeps some features
of a restoration made during XVIII c..

LA PIEVE
DI SANTA LUCE
This suburb is a typical agricultural
village and Pieve rises on the
top of it. It is of Romanic origin. In the past, the
suburb and Pieve were two detached centres, but nowadays they
are linked thanks to the buildings along the municipal road
of Belvedere.
Pieve has the most important architectonic
assembly. It had two naves separated by six columns linked
together by arches. It had several paintings and terracotta.
It was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1846. Just some capitals
of the columns, the octagonal monolithic baptismal font and
a terracotta belonged to Della Robbia have been kept. |
