The sword in the stone, in the center of the chapel next to the Gothic Abbey of Saint Galgano at Montesiepi. The swords has been plunged into a rock in 1180 by Galgano Guidotti, a medieval knight who renounced war and worldly goods to become a hermit. The sword has been considered a fake for many years, but a metal dating research in 2001 has indicated it has medieval origins. |
