We continue our journey in VAL DI CORNIA, perhaps best known as the hinterland of the ETRUSCAN COAST. After stopping in Sassetta, we leave in a southerly direction towards SUVERETO, a small medieval village in the province of Livorno, rightly included among THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VILLAGES IN ITALY.
As soon as we arrive we head towards the historic center to appreciate the charm of this country of three thousand souls rich in a truly remarkable artistic and historical heritage. A traffic policeman kindly reminds us that we must continue on foot because the athletes of the SUPER TUSCAN ECOMARATHON are about to arrive, a beautiful 44 km event in an area strongly linked to the culture of wine and the values of nature and sport.
We get off the bikes and push them by hand, a few steps and we realize that it is one of the most fascinating villages in the whole of Tuscany.
Thanks to all the staff at the marathon refreshment point who, seeing us a little tired, offer us "assistance" to eventually quench our thirst and refresh ourselves.
Most of us had never visited this pearl of the upper Maremma, it will certainly be one of the next destinations with our respective families.
More info from the network:
At the center of the town is the Palazzo Comunale di Suvereto, which is accessed via a staircase and a portico supported by some round and square columns. This historic building constitutes one of the greatest demonstrations of medieval architecture in the entire Maremma. A tower rises above the building, an ancient meeting place for the municipal assembly, as well as a lookout point for the entire village.
One of the architectural beauties of Suvereto is undoubtedly the Church of the Madonna sopra la Porta which is located in the territory of the Diocese of Massa Marittima, in via Matteotti.
The building has a simple facade on the outside and one would never expect to find so much splendor inside where the Baroque style prevails.
The Museum of Sacred Art of San Giusto is located in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, inside the oratory of the Confraternity of Mercy. They are exhibited in the museum of sacred works of art and liturgical furnishings, coming from the Church of San Giusto and from the artistic possessions of the village
In the historic center of the town, in via Magenta, the Doll Art Museum, born from the professionalism of Maria Micaelli, an expert in the art of dolls, is an absolutely recommended destination for all families who visit Suvereto.
Suvereto, in addition to the artistic and historical testimonies, offers tourists some truly refined food and wine tours. The wine production of the entire territory is in fact internationally renowned, reaching a truly exceptional level of quality.
