Tourist and Historical Information: Barberino Tavarnelle is a charming Tuscan town located in the heart of the Elsa and Pesa valleys, born from the administrative merger of the historic villages of Barberino Val d'Elsa and Tavarnelle Val di Pesa. The territory, crossed by the ancient Roman Strada Regia that connected Florence with Rome, is rich in medieval parish churches, abbeys, and fortified castles that once welcomed and offered shelter to pilgrims traveling along the Via Cassia. The medieval village of Barberino Val d'Elsa preserves its historic core with the imposing original access gates, Porta Fiorentina and Porta Senese, and the Church of San Bartolomeo. Tavarnelle owes its name to the Latin term taberna, referring to the travel inns established along the transit route. Outstanding historical landmarks in the area include the majestic Badia di Passignano, an ancient fortified Vallombrosan monastery housing a famous Last Supper frescoed by Davide and Domenico Ghirlandaio in the refectorio, and which was the site of a school attended by Galileo Galilei. Of exceptional architectural interest is also the Chapel of San Michele Arcangelo in Semifonte, designed by Santi di Tito in 1597, reproducing exactly the dome of Florence's Santa Maria del Fiore on a 1 to 8 scale, commonly known as the Duomo of Val d'Elsa. The territory also houses the splendid Romanesque Pieve di Sant'Appiano, one of the oldest churches in the area with an Antiquarium preserving Etruscan relics, the fortified village of Tignano, and the hamlet of San Donato in Poggio with the Renaissance Palazzo Malaspina. The area is famous worldwide for the production of Chianti Classico wine and PDO extra virgin olive oil, alongside the historical lace-making tradition known as Punto Tavarnelle, highly loved by cinema stars.
