The proud little church of San Biagio, just outside the Tuscan hill
town of Montepulciano, is a celebration of the humanism of the
Renaissance period 500 years ago. While medieval churches were designed
in the shape of a Latin cross (reminding us of Christ’s crucifixion),
Renaissance churches were generally done in a Greek cross design (with
arms of equal length, like a plus sign). The Greek cross can be
contained perfectly in a circle and reminds us of God’s perfection —
and how cool it is that we are made in His image. And the acoustics are
irresistible.
