Parish church of Santo Ippolito.

English

Good evening hivers, please make up for my absence but these days I was doing spring cleaning and I felt little inspiration to make my posts. Furthermore, the change of season doesn't help my already bad mood and I would do nothing but sleep, however today I want to talk to you about a small village that I really liked, I went there on Monday with my husband at his suggestion, it was a place where he used to ride his bicycle when he was young, this village is located on the hills of Vernio, a city located on the edge of Prato, the city adjacent to mine about an hour's journey away, unfortunately this area was hit a lot by landslides and flooding during the flood period in Tuscany and many roads are still unusable. However, knowing my love for churches, my husband took me to this small parish church in the village of Sant'Ippolito, a small town inhabited by about fifty people, much appreciated in the summer for its cool climate. The parish church occupies the main space of the town and is really beautiful to visit. The church is ancient, dating back to before the Middle Ages but rearranged in the twelfth century, it remains today one of the oldest in the area with still an original part in sandstone, a portico with eighteenth-century columns and a tower added later.

Buenas noches hivers, por favor compensan mi ausencia pero estos días estuve haciendo limpieza de primavera y sentí poca inspiración para hacer mis publicaciones. Además el cambio de estación no ayuda a mi ya de por sí mal humor y no haría más que dormir, sin embargo hoy quiero hablaros de un pequeño pueblo que me gustó mucho, fui allí el lunes con mi marido por sugerencia suya. , era un lugar donde solía andar en bicicleta cuando era joven, este pueblo está ubicado en las colinas de Vernio, una ciudad ubicada en las afueras de Prato, la ciudad adyacente a la mía a aproximadamente una hora de viaje, lamentablemente esta zona Se vio muy afectada por deslizamientos de tierra e inundaciones durante el período de inundaciones en Toscana y muchas carreteras aún están inutilizables. Sin embargo, conociendo mi amor por las iglesias, mi marido me llevó a esta pequeña iglesia parroquial del pueblo de Sant'Ippolito, un pequeño pueblo habitado por unas cincuenta personas, muy apreciado en verano por su clima fresco. La iglesia parroquial ocupa el espacio principal del pueblo y es realmente bonita de visitar. La iglesia es antigua, data de antes de la Edad Media pero fue remodelada en el siglo XII. Hoy en día sigue siendo una de las más antiguas de la zona, con una parte original de piedra arenisca, un pórtico con columnas del siglo XVIII y una torre añadida posteriormente.

As soon as we arrived we were immediately struck by the beauty of the parish church but also of the hills below which I photographed while we were in the car. We first visited the outside of the parish church and were amazed by a small Madonna located in a lawn in front of a terrace with such a beautiful and relaxing view behind it that it seemed like the perfect place for the statue of the sacred mother. A small idyllic and spiritual place, then obviously we visited the portico with a part dedicated as a votive monument to the fallen of the First and Second World War, a sad memory with not only soldiers but also families decimated during the round-ups. However, the view from the porch was really very beautiful and relaxing. Then we entered the church, with a simple and quite poor but still fascinating style, with a lot of wood, some sporadic frescoes and an altar with a large wooden Jesus surrounded by a wall of polychrome marble. It was an interesting and enjoyable little visit.

Tan pronto como llegamos, nos llamó la atención la belleza de la iglesia parroquial, pero también de las colinas debajo de las cuales fotografié mientras íbamos en el coche. Primero visitamos el exterior de la iglesia parroquial y quedamos maravillados con una pequeña Virgen situada en un césped frente a una terraza con una vista tan hermosa y relajante detrás que parecía el lugar perfecto para la estatua de la sagrada madre. Un pequeño lugar idílico y espiritual, luego obviamente visitamos el pórtico con una parte dedicada como monumento votivo a los caídos de la Primera y Segunda Guerra Mundial, un recuerdo triste con no sólo soldados sino también familias diezmadas durante las redadas. Sin embargo, la vista desde el porche era realmente muy hermosa y relajante. Luego entramos a la iglesia, de estilo sencillo y bastante pobre pero aún fascinante, con mucha madera, algunos frescos esporádicos y un altar con un gran Jesús de madera rodeado por un muro de mármol policromado. Fue una pequeña visita interesante y agradable.
