Chiusi Della Verna looks out over a landscape where Franciscan history, historic townscapes and experiences in nature are key features. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Chiusi Della Verna, you can choose where to stay based on the area's main highlights: La Verna and its history, the historic centre or outdoor experiences. This creates a versatile setting for families, where cultural discoveries and active pursuits can alternate.
La Verna and Franciscan history
La Verna was donated to Saint Francis in 1213 by Count Orlando Cattani of Chiusi. On 17 September 1224, Saint Francis of Assisi received the stigmata at La Verna. A particularly striking work of art can be found in the Chapel of the Stigmata at the Sanctuary of La Verna: its central wall is completely covered by Andrea della Robbia's depiction of the Crucifixion. These three aspects give a visit a clear historical and spiritual focus, without requiring you to commit to just one type of holiday experience.
Historical traces in the centre
The historic centre of Chiusi della Verna also tells the story of routes that developed over time: it grew along ancient medieval roads. Piazza dei Caduti is home to the Fontana del Campari, a Campari advertising fountain from the 1930s. At the same time, it is a travertine work by the sculptor G. Gronchi. The Church of San Michele Arcangelo was built in 1338 at the request of Countess Giovanna Tarlati. The town's history also includes the Podesteria di Michelangelo, which served as the seat of the Florentine podestà. Ludovico Buonarroti held office there in 1474. The castle of Count Orlando Cattani dates back to the 10th century and is visible from the entire historic centre.
Nature experiences between trail and river
The Sentiero Natura La Verna has designated observation points and explanatory panels covering geomorphology, vegetation, fauna and local history. This allows you to combine a walk with clear information about the landscape. In the Parco Fluviale di Corsalone, near the Pozza del Leone, there are illuminated footpaths, refreshment areas and picnic spots. Admission is free; the illuminated paths also make it possible to use the park in the evening. The VerdeLaVerna programme offers excursions and nature experiences through the visitor centres of Chiusi della Verna.
