ディコマーノ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Marian shrine dating back to the 15th century, built on the site of a pre-existing medieval monastic oratory from the 10th/11th centuries. It was later expanded in subsequent centuries, reaching its current 19th-century structure. Beautiful view of the valley below.

A peak a few meters lower than nearby Monte Falco, which is the highest point in the entire Casentino area. It's best known for its source, the Arno River, about 300 square meters below, on its southern slope. It offers a beautiful view of the surrounding valleys and mountains.

A beautiful hiking trail from the source of the Arno to the summit: not too steep and through a beautiful, shady beech forest. From the summit, there are great views to the west.

A particularly beautiful destination in winter 🥰

April is a great time to see the crocuses in bloom.

With a steep climb you quickly reach this beautiful sanctuary located in a panoramic position over the Sieve valley. The Sanctuary of Santa Maria delle Grazie al Sasso is part of the Parish of Lubaco - Diocese of Fiesole - and is located above the town of S. Brigida, Municipality of Pontassieve. On 2 July 1484 the Madonna appeared with Baby Jesus in the arms of two little sisters named Ricovera, on the rock adjacent to a tabernacle near a hermit settlement (later incorporated into the Sanctuary), which was the refuge and oratory of Saint Andrew of Scotland (actually of Ireland, also called Andrea Scoto), brother of Saint Brigid of Ireland, the Saint who chose as a place of hermitage a cave not far away, about 2 km, where the town that will take the name of Santa Brigida will later arise. Between 1484 and 1485, the Madonna appeared several times to the Ricovera shepherdesses, asking that a church be built in that same place because, she told the two Ricovera shepherdesses: "Here I like to be venerated and from here to pour out graces on those who ask me for them". But it was the great apparition of the Madonna with the Baby Jesus in her arms in front of all the people, several hundred people who were gathered there to pray on 22 August 1485, that definitively resolved the doubts about the previous apparitions and gave the final push to the construction of the Sanctuary, which was completed in 1504. Between 1615 and 1675, the large portico facing the facades was also built, so that the numerous pilgrims could find refuge there in case of bad weather.

Monte Falco at 1658 m above sea level, is the highest peak of the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines. Alongside its second (Monte Falterona for only 4 meters less) it marks the border between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. Near the Capo d'Arno source and various refuges and restaurants, it offers an excellent view of the valleys, lush forests and numerous routes suitable for everyone. Non-exposed paths. Be careful on the steepest and most rugged sections. Definitely recommended.

Mount Falco stands on the border between Arezzo and Florence and is also known as the "Roof of the Casentinesi Forests". With its 1,658 meters of altitude, it is the highest peak in the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines, exceeding the adjacent Mount Falterona by just four metres. To protect the alpine and subalpine vegetation present here, which is rare for these areas, an integral nature reserve has been established in this area.
