Gonfalone of Abbadia San Salvatore, Siena province, Tuscany.
The municipality has an area of 59 sq. km and 7,000 inhabitants.
Its name comes from a Benedictine abbey founded in the VIIIth
century by the Lombard ruler Erfo.
The coat of arms shows on silver the image of the Saviour
emerging from the top of a chestnut tree in natural colours. This
is an allegory of the foundation of the abbey mentioned above,
which is said to have occurred after a miraculous appearance in
the forest of Amiati.
