Val d'OrciaとAlta Tusciaの下の谷を見下ろすパノラマポイント

The town takes its name from the abbey of San Salvatore which followed the Benedictine rule, founded in 743 by the Lombard king Rachis, of which today only the church and the crypt remain, now officiated by the Cistercians. The abbey's territorial power grew in the following centuries, and at the same time the adjacent village developed, which was soon fortified and equipped with a defensive wall. At the beginning of the 10th century, its possessions extended beyond the Amiata area, expanding towards Lazio, into the Val d'Orcia, the Val di Chiana and even into the Viterbo area. During this period of prosperity, and at least until the House of Swabia , the monastery, the village and the lands of San Salvatore remained closely tied to the authority of the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, while nevertheless enjoying complete autonomy on the civil, penal and religious levels.
