Still drawing this one…Ancora un attimo, la stiamo disegnando…Einen Moment, wir zeichnen sie noch…
The convent of Lecceto is located in Malmantile, a hamlet of Lastra a Signa and it was born as a hermitage, founded in 1473 by the Dominican friar Domenico Guerrucci, and generously funded by the Florentine Filippo Strozzi, whose coat of arms can be seen in various areas of the church and convent. The hermitage is found at the end of a cypress-lined avenue, along a very ancient road that leads from Gangalandi to the Lamole church. Originally restricted to a part of the present ground floor and first floor, it was suppressed in 1810 and reduced to a household.
