Bucine

MEDIEVAL VILLAGE IN THE SETTING OF CHIANTI

The commune of Bucine is positioned between the Chianti mountains, along the Valle dell'Ambra, near the upper valley of the Arno.

In addition to the quaint old town, Bucine deserves to be visited the Abbazia di San Pietro a Ruoti, inside which there is an altarpiece depicting the Incoronazione della Vergine by Neri di Bicci (painter of the 400th). Other significant building is the Castello di Cennina, built in the 12th century and from whose top you can admire the surrounding tuscan countryside.
