Foothills on the Arno
The part of the “Poggio Rosso - Ranco” association belonging to Ranco has good independent architectural and urban-planning value, as well as good landscape value. This connection is interesting for visitors because it allows them to consider architectural form, settlement character and landscape together. The place therefore reveals itself not through a single theme, but through several interconnected facets.
Leopoldine Houses and the Percorso
The Leopoldine are substantial farmhouses that symbolize the valley’s drainage and agricultural traditions. They give the rural area a tangible architectural form and make regional history understandable through a concrete motif.
