The Chapel is dedicated to San Giovanni Gualberto, born near Tavarnelle Val di Pesa at the end of the 10th century and founder of the Vallombrosana Congregation, who lived and was buried in the Church dedicated to San Michele Arcangelo in Badia a Passignano. The building is built in the place where according to tradition the Saint used to go to pray, and encloses the boulder on which St. John Gualberto lay down, suffering, suffering “da penosa ischiade” (sciatic nerve pain), as recalled by the plaque placed in the atrium. A first votive capital was built in this place around the rock in 1671, only to be demolished and rebuilt in larger forms two centuries later. The lecture hall building is preceded by a loggia; inside there is a painting by Pietro Pezzati depicting San Giovanni Gualberto in prayer visited by the divine light. The semicircular space at the back of the Chapel encloses the boulder that would have impressed the shape of his body.

The Chapel is dedicated to San Giovanni Gualberto, born near Tavarnelle Val di Pesa at the end of the 10th century and founder of the Vallombrosana Congregation, who lived and was buried in the Church dedicated to San Michele Arcangelo in Badia a Passignano. The building is built in the place where according to tradition the Saint used to go to pray, and encloses the boulder on which St. John Gualberto lay down, suffering, suffering “da penosa ischiade” (sciatic nerve pain), as recalled by the plaque placed in the atrium. A first votive capital was built in this place around the rock in 1671, only to be demolished and rebuilt in larger forms two centuries later. The lecture hall building is preceded by a loggia; inside there is a painting by Pietro Pezzati depicting San Giovanni Gualberto in prayer visited by the divine light.
