Holiday Apartment in Terrarossa: Trails and Regional History

The trails also give the area its own narrative thread. The Leonardo Itinerary passes through Fontiano. It leads into the valley and crosses the Chiana at the “Ponte a Pietra”, now called I Ponti. The Sentiero della Bonifica runs along the Canale Maestro della Chiana in the Siena and Arezzo area. In the Val di Chiana, this trail is connected with the centuries-long drainage and land-reclamation work regarded as a symbol of continual change. When planning your trip, you can associate the two trail connections with different interests without reducing them to the same experience.

The natural landscape includes Monte Castiglion Maggio, Monte San Zio, Monte Corneta and Poggio del Sarto; all four are located in the area around Terrarossa. These four landscape names complement the cultural attractions and themed trails with another perspective on the area. If, when choosing your accommodation, you particularly want to take into account the combination of natural surroundings and discoveries, they provide a useful thematic guide for preparing your trip.

Churches with Their Own History and Architecture

Pieve di Santa Mustiola a Quarto has a thousand-year history and a close connection with the Arezzo area. Santa Maria a Pigli stood within the old castle of Pigli and was rebuilt between the final decades of the 17th century and the first decades of the 18th century. Sant’Andrea a Pigli was designed by Pilade Ghiandai and consecrated in 1899. Its interior is designed in the Gothic Revival style and divided into three naves. Differences such as these make the churches interesting to visitors who, alongside landscapes and trails, also want to consider historical development and architecture during their trip.
