Convento Bosco ai Frati : This convent was constructed by the Ubaldini family before the year 1000, and in 1212 it was given to St. Francis who went on to make it one of the most important monasteries of his religious order. In 1420, the convent was purchased by Cosimo de’ Medici, who had it redesigned by Michelozzo. The complex of buildings is composed of the Chiesa di San Bonaventura - where Cosimo was ‘raised to the purple’ (ie. the status of cardinal) by Pope Gregory X - and the adjacent convent. Inside this latter building, there is the Sala de’ Medici, a small museum of sacred art, with some interesting works, including the wonderful Christ Dying by Donatello.

Castello del Trebbio : This castle was built in the mid-15th century by Michelozzo at the behest of Cosimo de’ Medici the Elder, on the ruins of a Longobard tower. It is one of only a very limited number of castles that have maintained intact their original structure. The high tower of the castle stands imperiously over what were peasant dwellings, which have now been painstakingly restored and are used as holiday homes. It would appear that during the plague of 1476, the castle played host to Amerigo Vespucci, the famous explorer and ‘discoverer’ of America, from whom that country takes its name.

Pieve di San Pietro : This parish church was definitely constructed before the 11th century, making it one of the oldest in the Mugello area. It was built to a sqaure plan, with two rows of pillars and three naves, and inside it features a beautiful baptismal font by Luca della Robbia into which are sculpted scenes from the life of St. John, along with a Crucifix in wood positioned above the main altar. The bell tower adjacent to the church was first built in 1607, then completely rebuilt in 1906. During the 18th century, the fabric of the building was restructured and unfortunately the traces of these dubious modifications are still very much in evidence.

Villa Schifanoia : This country house was most probably constructed in the 14th century. At one time, its was owned by the de’ Medici family, and features a high tower that even today is an unmissable part of the skyline. The villa was refurbished in more recent times, particularly between the 17th and 18th centuries.

Villa Adami : This villa was built in the 16th century, and was acquired in 1805 by the Adami family, last of the de’ Medici line. Abandoned to its fate after the war, it was taken over by the local council in 1991, and an excellent restoration operation was carried out. The inside of the villa features the original wooden ceilings and frescoes. It currently serves as a base for certain public officials and is also a public library.
