Chiesina Uzzanese

THE VILLAGE RESERVE MONTEFALCONE

Chiesina Uzzanese is located in the hills that grow close to the natural reserve of Montefalcone and "Padule di Fucecchio".

In the country there are traces already in medieval times, but the first houses were built in 1600. The surrounding area allowed to experience fishing, but made it difficult to develop the village which grew only after the reclamation of the nineteenth century.

Church is the ideal starting point to visit the surrounding area and the locations of the forested area of the nature reserve.
