For its landscape, historical and cultural features, the Municipality of Loro Ciuffenna was admitted in<\/span> the <\/span>Club of the most beautiful villages in Italy, which today has 250 members.<\/span><\/p>\nIt is a mild-hill picturesque village located between the valley of the Arno and the massif of Pratomagno. In medieval times it was a fortified village, as you can guess approaching the ancient walls, built overhanging the gorges of the river Ciuffenna, or crossing the old bridge of Romanesque times, or visiting the water mill still working.<\/span> But it is through the gate of the Clock that you enter the most charming part of the village: the central Via Dante is in fact bordered by paved streets that get dark and winding in the ancient district of Fondaccio in which, besides the houses, there were shops and warehouses of merchants and craftsmen.<\/span><\/p>\nIt was the economic heart of the castle with the noble palace,\u00a0 today in Piazza Don Mazzoni,\u00a0 a small space that encloses both the Church of Santa Maria Assunta and the palace in which the Guidi Counts resided when\u00a0 visiting their estate.<\/span> Inside the Church of S. M. Assunta there are works of high artistic value such as a Piet\u00e0 and an Annunciation of the mid-sixteenth century by Carlo Portelli.<\/span><\/p>\nJust outside the village there are some sacred buildings that arose to receive tabernacles of miraculous images, such as the sanctuary of Our Lady of Humility, on the road to Gropina, showing \u00a0 seventeenth-century works.<\/span> But we have to point out that the parish churches, built on the route of the ancient Via Clodia, which roughly follows the current Via dei Setteponti, characterize this territory.<\/span> Of the six parishes on the Setteponti, two are in fact in the municipality of Loro: San<\/span> Giustino and Gropina.<\/span> All around, the landscape is characterized by traditional terraces and the presence of <\/span>Balze , curious natural formations of clay and sand up to a hundred meters high: the Apennine massif of Pratomagno with its ridge of gentle slopes, is a unique habitat in which crops, forest and slopes of meadow alternate<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”sanpietrogropina” module_class=”sanpietrogropina” _builder_version=”4.16″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row admin_label=”San Pietro a Gropina” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” locked=”off” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”-1px|||||” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The Pieve di San Pietro a Gropina is one of the most interesting of our region and it has been declared a national monument. The current\u00a0 construction dates back to the period between the end of XII and the start of XIII century: the archaeological excavations testify that it\u2019s located over the rests of two ancient churches, a V-VI century AD paleo – Christian church, built on pre-existent roman structures, and a second one from the Lombard age that was a remake and an expansion of the first one. It has a facade made by ashlar rocks and a semi-circular apse covered with irregular stone slabs, enriched with arcades and columns. The interior consists of three naves separated by round arches resting on monolithic columns. Relevant are the symbolic figures sculpted both on the capitals and on the semi-circular ambo taken from the bestiaries or the gospels, in addition to pagan allegories that were Christianised.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nINFORMATION<\/span>
