San Dalmazio is a frazione of the comune of Pomarance, in Tuscany, Province of Pisa, in central Italy.[1]
History[]
San Dalmazio was built around a castle of the 19th century, but the name of the community is known from historical documents dating to around 1040, as a village dependent on the monastery of San Pietro in Palazzuolo. In 1147 a monastery of Benedictine nuns was founded on its territory; this was destroyed by fire in 1438. Pope Eugene IV granted indulgences to help the reconstruction of the monastery, but in 1511, the sisters moved to Volterra.
The village lost self-government in 1776 when it was absorbed by Pomarance.
