Historical traces at Villa Bacci

Villa Bacci is a building complex dating from the 17th century. In Campoluci, it contains a complex fresco cycle from 1608. For those interested in culture, this site offers a clear connection between the building and art from the early 17th century.

Parish Church of Santi Pietro e Paolo and its predecessor

The present-day parish church of Santi Pietro e Paolo in Campoluci was built in the 18th century. The year 1755 is carved into its lintel. It replaced the older parish church of S. Pietro di Nofio, also known as S. Pietro di Noffio. The Campoluci parish is likewise designated as Santi Pietro e Paolo. In Campoluci, the present-day church, its older predecessor and the associated names are therefore part of a shared ecclesiastical historical context.

Campoluci between antiquity and the history of its name

Campoluci first appears in 885 under the name Campus Lucii. The year 885 predates the construction of Villa Bacci in the 17th century and the fresco cycle of 1608. A local historical interpretation connects the name with “lucus”, the Latin word for “sacred grove”. Campoluci is associated with a burial ground dating from the 1st century BC. Aretine vessels from the burial ground at Campoluci are kept in the Museo di Arezzo. For those interested in culture, the connection between the ancient burial ground and the vessels kept in the Museo di Arezzo is thus preserved.
