Everyone knows the legend of King Arthur pulling a sword from a stone. But in Tuscany, there's a real sword in a stone—and it's been there since 1180. Galgano Guidotti was a violent knight who had a vision of Saint Michael telling him to give up warfare. To prove his commitment, he drove his sword into a rock, turning it into a cross. The sword is still there, protruding from the stone floor of the Montesiepi Chapel. Scientific analysis confirmed the blade dates to the 12th century and is genuinely embedded in rock. Nobody knows if the Arthurian legend inspired Galgano, or if his act inspired the legend. Either way, the sword in the stone is real.
