Castello Vincigliata

I boschi di Maiano e la patria di Boccaccio - The woods of Maiano and the home of Boccaccio

In this tour the balance and interplay between humans and nature are told in their maximum expression. From a new park on the eastern outskirts of Florence, we will go up the beautiful hills that frame the city, passing by villa-farms and then crossing a forest of springs, waterways and trees that make it an enchanted place. We will arrive a step away from the Castle of Vincigliata, with a breathtaking view of Florence. On the downhill stretch, looking at Settignano, We'll go through the places where Desiderio da Settignano and Giovanni Boccaccio grew up.
