San Salvatore Abbey, Vaiano

The Badia San Salvatore (also called Abbazia San Salvatore) is a Romanesque-style, Roman Catholic church with and adjacent Renaissance style abbey located on Via Monsignor G Gori #10 in the town of Vaiano in the Province of Prato, region of Tuscany, Italy.

A monastery at the site was erected between the 9th and 10th century, under the administration of the Benedictine abbey of Monte Cassino.

Archeological excavations found ancient Lombard tombs underneath the church, suggesting a prior religious structure.

[1][2] An altarpiece depicting the Virgin and Child appear to St Francis was painted by Orazio Fidani.

The wooden choir stalls in the apse of the church, as well as a large oak cabinet in the sacristy, were carved in the 17th-18th centuries.
