The origin of the term "Macinaie" has no certain scientific explanation. In 2012, however, dozens of millstones made of trachytic stone, probably dating back to the Middle Ages, were found in the highest part of the mountain, about three kilometers from the town; with a diameter of about 70/80 centimeters. They were perhaps used to grind wheat, cereals and dried chestnuts. The area, therefore, could have been a rudimentary millstone laboratory, made with peperino stone from Amiata. The discovery would provide an explanation for the birth of the toponym "Macinaie", as a place where millstones were built.

Actually really great place. Unfortunately access is currently blocked. Unfortunately, we couldn't see any waterfalls from outside either. Maybe due to lack of water? We were there on September 12th, 2023.
