Giotto's birthplace is located in Vespignano di Vicchio, on one of the many hills rising in the Mugello. It is a unique L-shaped complex, typical of the Mugello countryside at the time, without any particularly valuable architectural features. It consists of a portico with square columns and a residential structure (now a museum) with a 90° angle, featuring another simple small portico in the center.
In the courtyard, an interesting feature is the ancient well/fountain with a mechanical pump.
Not far away, uphill, is the San Martino complex, which serves as a subsidiary parish.
