Discover Molinelli: Holiday Apartment, Football Field and Acquedotto Vasariano

The municipal Molinelli football field offers a practical place for exercise: The grass field has regulation goals and measures 40 × 70 m. The field can be reached via Via delle Conserve up to the intersection with Via di Cognaia and can be used freely. A route of the Acquedotto Vasariano also begins in Molinelli, leading to an open section of the elevated aqueduct.

Exercise and Horse Experiences

Scuderia Pan offers activities where you can get to know horses, learn the basics of ethology, lead horses by the halter rope, and groom their coats and manes. Ethology is the study of animal behaviour. The sequence ranges from getting to know the horses and understanding them to practical care, creating several points of connection for a stay shaped by different interests.

The Acquedotto Vasariano in Molinelli

The Acquedotto Vasariano was completed in 1603 by the architect Gherardo Mechini. Along the route beginning in Molinelli, 52 arches support the elevated aqueduct up to the Fortezza Medicea. The Conserve of the Acquedotto Vasariano are barrel-vaulted basins used to collect and purify water. This subject therefore combines a precisely datable structure with visible elements of its technical function.

Traces along Via delle Conserve

Further along Via delle Conserve lies the Conserva Grande. It can be recognised by the wooden cross behind its entrance. The Conserve of the Acquedotto Vasariano still have their original stone entrances. The coats of arms of the Fraternita dei Laici were once located on them; they are illegible today. The architectural details thus range from the vaulted basins to the entrances and the traces preserved on them.
