    The Montovolo/Monte Vigese complex can be recognized from any surrounding valley. On the summit there is the Oratory of Santa Caterina, dating back to 1200, and a more modern Sanctuary.

    The history of Montovolo is fascinating because it seems to have been an ancient Etruscan oracular center. The rocks of the mountain have been excavated over the centuries to extract the particular pietra serena or Montovolo stone, whose tradition is alive thanks to the incessant cultural work of the stonecutters.
