Churches, an abbey and local traditions

The Abbey of San Lorenzo al Lanzo is also known as Badia Ardenghesca. The Church of Santa Maria in Montibus was first mentioned in documents dating from 1143.

A 16th-century panel depicting Saints Ansano, Fabiano and Sebastiano is kept in the church. The Scale Sante are an old staircase along Via Battisti; according to legend, the patron saints Fabiano and Sebastiano appeared there during a devastating plague epidemic.

Festivals featuring wine, olive oil and crafts

The Festa del Buco Unto takes place every year on the second weekend of November and celebrates the local Vino novello and new olive oil.

The Sagra del Buco Unto includes craft markets and food stalls where local oil and local wine can be sampled.

The Sagra dell'Alta Maremma is a food event promoting typical products from this part of Tuscany. Alongside food, it offers live music as well as historical re-enactments of traditional crafts and objects from earlier times. It takes place every year in August, subject to possible programme changes.
