View of Montelupo Fiorentino and the Arno River

Highlight • Viewpoint

From Montelupo you can see Capraia, Christ makes couples and then pairs them up! This Tuscan saying highlights the two villages overlooking the Arno, Montelupo and Capraia Fiorentina.

Via di Castiglioni Landscape Museum Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice climb well paved through oak woods. This road heads to the parish church of San Michele a Castiglioni. There are some beautiful viewpoints on the typical tuscany landscape. The Municipality of Montespertoli, indeed, has established this road as Museo del Paesaggio ("Landscape Museum"), a guided itinerary through the landscape of the lower Val di Pesa, which runs for two kilometers along the ridge road between Castiglioni and Montegufoni - from the chapel of the villa to the column that recalls the partisan who fell during the Second World War -; it can be reached from both Ginestra and Montagnana and does not have an obligatory order of travel. Brown directional signs indicate the path that can be done on foot, by bicycle. The information system guides the visitor in the direct observation of the traces, still identifiable in the current landscape, of landscapes that have now disappeared, telling significant moments in the history of the area. The itinerary involves the visitor in the discovery of clues relating to three landscapes:

that of the farms of the Roman period between the middle of the first century. B.C. and the end of the second century. A.D. - le villae: farms that managed specialized productions, in particular wine;
that of the system of Churches, divided into Plovers and Peoples, in the medieval and Renaissance periods;
the sharecropping one, which began in the 1700s, linked in particular to the presence of an important farm, on whose property the itinerary is mostly developed, and of which the farmhouses relevant to different farms are visible.
The Landscape Museum is part of the "Museo Diffuso Empolese Valdelsa Museum System" which combines the artistic heritage of the Municipalities of the Union of Empolese Val d'Elsa in a single ideal route as a commitment to enhance and disseminate the works of art collected in the museums in this area.

San Michele a Castiglioni Parish Church

Highlight • Religious Site

A Romanesque parish church which dates back to eleventh century. The church has an uncommon north-south orientation. The system of churches scattered on the country formed the backbone of the human landscape in the Medieval and Renaissance periods, and people's lives and that of the comunity in general gravitate around it to a considerable extent. The most interesting architectural element of the building is a Romanesque-Pisan rhomboid window that has a very elaborate frame in stone and colored terracotta with a remarkable chromatic value.
