Hidden Tuscany Abbey of Sant’ Antimo, Val’ Orcia

Posted on 31/10/2011 by
Heard Gregorian Chant at Abbey of Sant’ Antimo.  The Monastery run by French Dominican monks has become an international centre for the revival of Gregorian chant.  Isolated, the Monastery commands breathtaking views of the Val O’rcia countryside.
