VISIT AREZZO
The Pieve of San Pietro a Gropina is the most visited church in the entire province of Arezzo
It is a splendid Romanesque building with very particular features, with beautiful capitals, a truly unique pulpit, and a church of Lombard origin that is located beneath the floor of the current one.
To the visitor, the PIEVE presents itself with a simple façade that repeats the internal tripartition, made of sandstone masonry: the interior has three naves and encloses the pulpit, which is the crowning glory of all the artistic beauty contained in the Pieve di S. Pietro a Gropina.
This is a marvelous, unique, special, and very ancient work (dating back even to the 8th century), a work in which art becomes symbolism and mystery; it is the crowning glory of all the artistic beauty contained in the Pieve di S. Pietro a Gropina: it is worth coming all the way here just to see and admire this marvelous, unique, special, and very ancient work (dating back even to the 8th century), a work in which art becomes symbolism and mystery.
I must add that in my excursions up and down Tuscany I have seen many pulpits, but never one like this: there are none so ancient nor of this craftsmanship with the intertwined columns (the column with the knot expresses the greatest mystery of faith: the Trinity of God, because there is one God in three equal and distinct persons: Father and Son expressed with the two knotted columns and the Holy Spirit whose symbol is the knot
