Meeting place par excellence for several generations now.A multitude of paths and routes branch off from here. Impossible to recommend them all.

Curiosity:
In the area of that beautiful lawn and the picnic area, next to a large tree there is a memorial stone in memory of exactly what happened on Sunday 18 July 1976.That day many people gathered on the Alpe di Catenaia, to celebrate the anniversary of the liberation from Nazi-fascism, which began in our province in early July 1944. Arezzo was liberated on 16 July 1944.
This area of the Alpe di Catenaia is located in the municipality of Subbiano and as in other mountains, here too there were numerous clashes between Nazi-fascists and partisans during the resistance period (1943-1945). The "Gothic Line" also passed through this mountain, since from here you could see the slopes of Arezzo and the Tiber Valley.But on that 18th July 1976, what was supposed to be a day of celebration in the afternoon became a dramatic day: a strong storm hit the area, lightning struck a group of people who had taken shelter under the trees; nine people were killed!
