The Abbey of San Salvatore a Soffena is located outside the town of Castelfranco in the province of Arezzo. The Abbey is located near the panoramic road of the Setteponti on the ancient medieval findings of the 800s. The Abbey was built starting from the 1000s, but the current structure dates back to the end of the fourteenth century. Inside are preserved the frescoes made in the first half of the fifteenth century. The internal cloister is still perfectly preserved with the bell tower. Inside the Abbey you can still see the original frescoes with the depictions of the "Madonna with Child and Saints Peter and Francis" attributed to the Florentine painter Paolo Schiavo, "The Annunciation" by Giovanni di Ser Giovanni, younger brother of Masaccio. Other frescoes belong to the Master of Bibbiena, to Mariotto di Cristofano, to San Giovanni Gualberto and to Bicci di Lorenzo. In the church there were other works which were then stolen in the following centuries starting from the mid-eighteenth century. The monumental complex became a museum in 1963, the year in which the superintendency activated an architectural and fresco restoration plan. The frescoes in a complete state of decay were removed and placed on panels on the walls of the building.
