Description:
The town conserves intact parts of its medieval architecture such
as the bridge and the old mill which are attractions of the small
town. The rooms of the Town hall house the Museo Venturino Venturi,
with works by the painter born here. The museum contains a
collection of bronze and wooden sculptures and ceramic pieces. A
few khilometres from the historic centre is the lovely Pieve di San
Pietro a Gròpina. Its capitals are rich in symbolic signs. A
must is a visit to the small hamlet of Borro, which was until some
years ago the home of the Duca Amadeo d'Aosta and now a part of a
vast complex purchased by a well-known Tuscan family.
