Imagine finding yourself in front of a sword embedded in stone for over 800 years. You're not at the court of Camelot but at the San Galgano Abbey and this sword in the stone looks just like King Arthur's. In the peaceful green tuscan countryside a gothic abbey guards one of Italy's most fascinating mysteries: the San Galgano sword, a medieval weapon that was planted in the rock by the saint himself in 1180.
Right in those years, between France and England, some celtic and chivalric tales gradually gave birth to the myth of King Arthur and his sword extracted from the stone. Does the worldwide legend of the valorous Arthur have any relation to the italian sword of San Galgano?
