Ancient oratory of the Madonna dei Fossi. Here stood a group of scattered houses called Metamorle, which had up to 500 inhabitants. Even before that, in medieval times, there must have been a village called Castellaccio, around a Guidi fortification.

The path you follow now was an important communication route between Mugello and Casentino. Right in Madonna dei Fossi there was a Franciscan hospice, as a place of shelter and shelter on the road. Saint Francis passed through here and it is believed that he performed the miracle of water, causing a spring of water to flow. In a document from 1500 the fact is reported in quite detail. For any information it is worth visiting the website of the Ecomuseum of the Florentine mountains.

Entry among the places of the heart of the FAI is in 591st place, but perhaps by knowing its history you will be able to increase its interest
