The patron saint of San Giovanni Valdarno is St. John the Baptist.

Good to drive

view of Loro Ciuffenna

It is the first fountain you come across after 10km of climbing towards pratomgano. Fresh water and a bit of rest before resuming the pace towards the summit.

If you turn right towards the castle you travel along a stretch of dirt road towards Gaiole.

The lake in the San Cipriano gully is a small body of water located near the town of San Giovanni Valdarno. It is surrounded by a forest of oak, chestnut and poplar trees and is believed to have been the baptismal place of San Cipriano, the patron saint of San Giovanni Valdarno.

Precious view over the center of the village of Loro Ciuffenna.

The center of Terranuova still has the layout of a medieval walled area clearly visible and inside it preserves a notable artistic heritage. Wandering through the narrow, straight streets of the town allows you to retrace the route that makes up the grid of the original urban structure, come across the churches of the people who came to live here in the 14th century, and admire the palaces of the Terranuovo nobles of the Renaissance age. The visit to the historic center can start from the Church of Ganghereta located between the current via Mazzini and via Fazia, on which it has the facade; Then taking via Mazzini up to the intersection with via Concini you will find the Church of Pernina, today of the Misericordia. Via Concini is one of the streets that are best preserved and least affected by the passage of the front during the Second World War. Continuing south, in fact, you will find Palazzo Concini, home of the historic Terranuovese family, the Hospice of the Friars of Verna and, at the crossroads of via Ricasoli, the Church of the Moors. Always following Via Ricasoli you arrive at the Church of the Pozzo, a few meters from the Benedictine Oratory and its Cloister located in Via Fazia. Going along this road again until the intersection with Via Garibaldi you arrive at Piazza della Repubblica, where on the north side you can see the Archpriest of Santa Maria Maria Bambina, and on the east side the modern municipal building. Cutting across the square towards Viale Piave, close to the city walls, there is the new council hall created from the now deconsecrated Church of the Veste Bianca, and, just outside the walls, the modern Church of Santa Maria Nova, designed by Mario Botta. To conclude, we recommend a walk along the main street, via Roma, to discover the facades of the ancient noble palaces such as Palazzo Inghirami.
