Small ancient village

Village of Villages

nice historical building freshly renovated

done the trail in 5 days alone in July 2023, no comment can give an idea of the feeling of happiness, freedom, tension..... I met many guys (and this gives me the idea that the future will be better than what we elderly people leave).... I cried upon arriving in Piazza della Signoria..... as I have already posted "if you have someone you don't love tell them to take the path, if instead you have someone you who you love tell them to do it... in any case they will thank you".

The picturesque town of Scarperia is renowned for the artisanal production of knives. In addition to the shops selling the best knives and agricultural tools, the Palazzo dei Vicari houses the Museum of Cutting Irons. On the facade of the building you can see all the coats of arms of past governments. On 8 September the Palio di Diotto is held, a historical re-enactment attended by all the districts of the town. On the last Sunday of May the 'Infiorata' event takes place where the town is decorated entirely with flowers and flower paintings.

The Palazzo dei Vicari di Scarperia, built during the fourteenth century, was the seat of the vicar of the Florentine Republic since 1415, a vicar who worked here with political duties and above all with the management of the Mugello and surrounding area. The charge of the vicar lasted only 6 months at the terms of which they had to leave the signature of their passage: this is why the numerous coats of arms on the façade. Inside, the noble rooms house important frescoes such as the Madonna del Ghirlandaio from 1501 and Filippo Brunelleschi's clock from 1445. There is also the Museo dei Ferri Taglienti, linked to the still active local artisan production, and the historical archive Pre-unification with more than 4500 documents from the time of the vicar.

Villa or "Castle" of Cafaggiolo. One of Lorenzo the Magnificent's favorite residences, built by Michelozzo Michelozzi around 1451 for the Medici family, commissioned by Cosimo the Elder. Unfortunately it is located along the fairly busy SS 65 "della Futa". Pay attention. The Villa is currently undergoing restoration.
