The paper traces a biographical profile of Atto, a monk, major Vallombrosan abbot and bishop of Pistoia who lived during the first half of the twelfth century. On the basis of the Vitae derived from an initial narrative nucleus comprising the Gesta episcopi conceived in Pistoia during the fourteenth century, the text identifies some themes of interest taken from both the Vallombrosan and Pistoia traditions. The essay analyses the salient moments of the activity and thought of this important figure for the history of his congregation and the contemporary Church.
