Holiday Apartment in Legoli: Frescoes, Presenze and Alta Valdera

When choosing a holiday apartment in Legoli, you can focus on different aspects, from sacred art and unusual installations to landscapes and active excursions. The tabernacle, the Triangolo Verde, the Ghizzano–Libbiano–Legoli cycling loop and destinations in the surrounding region give your stay specific themes, without requiring you to commit to just one way of travelling.

Art and history in Legoli

The tabernacle in Legoli is decorated with frescoes on all four sides. It was probably created by Benozzo Gozzoli during his stay in Legoli. In 1822, Alesso della Fanteria built a small funerary oratory to protect the tabernacle. This site therefore brings together fresco art, the probable work of Benozzo Gozzoli and a protective structure with a specific date.

The “Presenze” installation adds another distinctive element. It comprises four sculptures created by Naturaliter Snc, ranging from 5 to 9 metres in height. The sculptures are made of polystyrene and polyurethane foam and covered with fibre-reinforced cement. The installation was inspired by the idea that new life can emerge from waste. Its size, materials and this idea give it a clear identity of its own.

Triangolo Verde and unique insights

The Triangolo Verde is directly accessible from Via Libbiano a Legoli. It hosts events, cultural activities and training courses. At the Triangolo Verde, free guided tours are available of the waste treatment and disposal facility and/or the area of the “Giants”. For your planning, this site therefore offers different ways to engage with culture, learning and waste treatment.

Cycling route and the landscape of Alta Valdera

The Ghizzano–Libbiano–Legoli cycling loop includes a short detour to the Tabernacolo di Benozzo Gozzoli in the Chapel of Santa Caterina in Legoli. This makes it possible to combine a cycling route with a cultural visit. From the terrace of the parish church of Saints Giusto and Bartolomeo, you can look out over the woods, wheat fields, vineyards and olive groves of Alta Valdera.
