Overview
Overview
A small museum is dedicated to the great writer; the villa, now Villa Bossi-Pucci, stands close by the Hostel where Machiavelli used to "let off steam". Also in the village is its namesake church, Saint Andrew in English. Nearby is the thirteenth-century church of San Bartolomeo in Faltignano. This once possessed a painting on wood, depicting Saint Andrew, by the school of Agnolo Gaddi; and a Madonna enthroned and saints attributed to the school of Filippino Lippi, today in the church of Chiesa nuova Val di Pesa. Not far from Sant'Andrea in Percussina, just outside Spedaletto, is the twelfth-century church of Santa Maria a Casavecchia, which contains a Della Robbia polychrome altarpiece in terracotta. Also nearby is the Florence American Cemetery.
