Vicchio

A PLACE THAT BRINGS BACK GIOTTO

Vicchio saw a distinctive development around the 15th century, when they were built many churches of inestimable value, including the beautiful Chiesa di San bartolomeo a Molezzano with a lovely Renaissance-style portico in front the façade. At the gates of this charming place in the heart of Mugello is still present the ancient Ponte di Ragnaia where according to a legend met Cimabue and a young Giotto.

Vicchio is still associated with the figures that made great Tuscany and art in the world, making this small town a place rich in tradition and culture. Perhaps one of the most beautiful spots on the whole Tuscany.
