Explore Capolona In Tuscany

During your holiday travels of Tuscany, a worthy stop off for a few hours of exploration would most certainly be the town of Capolona.

It’s situated on the banks of the River Arno and lies close to the lively town of Arezzo. Known as the ‘Gateway’ to the Casentino area of Tuscany, Capolona has plenty to offer tourists in its own right.

Stay in a stunning villa with a swimming pool in Capolona to relax and unwind at after your exciting days of exploring the Casentino area.

If you have found a vacation rental in Arezzo and are looking for things to see and do in the area, you might consider heading to the Sanctuary of La Verna. This Franciscan monastery is located on Mount Penna, perched above Chiusi della Verna in the province of Arezzo.

One of the places where St. Francis is venerated, it is an important and beautiful artistic, cultural, historical and spiritual centres. Visitors flock to the site each year for its many charms and as St. Francis is one of the most adored saints in the world.

The mountain was actually donated to St. Francis in 1213 by Count Orlando Cattani of Chiusi of La Verna, who described it as the ideal place for contemplation of the bounty of God's earth, saying, “I have in Tuscany a faithful mount that is named Mount of La Vernia, which is really isolated and wild and perfect for those who want to do penance in a remote place or to those who want to live in solitude.”

If you are staying in or even passing through the Casentino valley in Tuscany, a worthwhile visit would be one to the town of Chiusi della Verna. The sanctuary of La Verna, founded by St. Francis of Assisi, is located near the top of Mount Penna above the town of Chiusi della Verna. It is said to be one of the most peaceful places to be on earth.

There are many visitors to these parts because this is where St. Francis of Assisi lived for his final years in solitude with his fellow Franciscan monks. The nearby Basilica Maggiore contains terracotta sculpture by the famous Andrea della Robbia. Also to be viewed by the tourist is the Chapel of Relics which contains possessions of St. Francis when he was alive. There is a tablecloth, some crockery and a walking stick.

The most unusual artefact found is a ‘disciplina’, an iron handle whip used in a common Christian practice of ‘Mortification of the Flesh’, where monks would routinely whip their own flesh in penance for their sins. A relic of the saint’s blood staining a linen cloth can also be seen here. It’s carried around Chiusi della Verna during holy celebrations. After a visit to this sanctuary, a half hour of hiking would bring you to the summit of Mount Penna where the views are breath taking!

If you enjoy a mixture of culinary, historical and cultural expeditions on your travels then perhaps basing a few days of your holiday in the region of Casentino in Tuscany would appeal to you.

The Casentino valley has plenty of vacation rentals to choose from for your stay here.

There are several suggested articles of day trips to embark on in this region that visitors are sure to enjoy thoroughly. This particular article describes local festivals, historical sites and delicious cuisine that can be found in this detailed trail of towns and villages.

Only fifteen minute’s drive from Bibbiena is the charming town of Borgo alla Collina. The people of this town love to celebrate and if visitors are lucky enough to be passing through this area during the summer months, they’re in for a treat! Every year Borgo all Collina hosts a theatre festival during the months of July and August. In the Piazza Dante Alighieri, people fill up the area to watch comedy, dance, opera and plays being performed.

One of Italy’s most delicious and widely exported products is of course, olive oil. The trees on which olives are grown are modest in appearance but they have been the staple food of Mediterranean countries for millennia.

High quality olive production is treated with almost a godlike reverence, especially in Tuscany where tourists are likely to see olive groves no matter what direction they look at in the countryside! For those who would like to witness the care and love that this delicious fruit receives, a trip to anywhere around some Tuscan country towns would be the perfect viewing point.

Visit and perhaps stay a few nights in a charming holiday villa in towns like Poppi, Bibbiena and Fiesole where you can relax and enjoy the cultural delights they have to offer.

If you’re visiting the Casentino region in Tuscany for a few days, perhaps you’d like to explore this suggested day trip through four very interesting towns in the area that have plenty to offer in terms of sightseeing, food tasting and history.
You can enjoy a few day’s stay in a fine selection of tuscany villa rentals in the district.

Why not start the day’s activities in the town of Ortignano Raggiolo, just over seven kilometres southwest of the town of Bibbiena. Once two separate towns situated right beside each other, they decided to unite in 1873 and simply combined their individual names to make up the new town name.

Chestnut trees are plentiful here, there’s even a museum built in their honour in the town! Chestnuts were once and still are a popular staple food of the region. This museum illustrates the stages of chestnut harvesting and emphasises to the visitor, all the wonderful products that they are used in! They can be ground into sweet flour and made into a light bread called Polenta which is often eaten with some delicious locally produced ricotta cheese. Try it for yourself in ‘Ristorante Il Convivio dei corsi’ located in the town centre before moving onto the next stop of this interesting trail.
