Oratorio della Misericordia : Officially, this chapel is dedicated to St. Filippo Neri, but it is referred to by everyone as the Oratory of the Misericordia. Above the central altar, conserved in a glass urn, there is a wonderful waxwork by Susini, entitled The Death of Jesus, created in 1798. Nowadays, the chapel in used only on special occasions, but it can be viewed on request through the local charitable organisation on 055/8497409.

Pieve di S. Cassiano in Padule : It is highly probable that this parish church was erected before the year 1000. Unfortunately, it was all but destroyed by the 1919 earthquake, and was subsequently restored with great care, retaining as much as possible of the old structure. The top of the Gothic bell tower is castellated, a feature that is rather at odds with the prevailing style of the rest of the church. There is a 15th-century bas-relief in the ancient apse.

Chiesa di S. Martino a Vespignano : This church was built in the 13th century on the ruins of a castle. Alterations in the 19th century left little of the original structure intact. To the right of the presbytery, there is a 15th-century portrait of the Virgin with Child said to be the work of a pupil of Paolo Uccello. The birthplace of the great Giotto is in the vicinity of the church, and although it was badly damaged in the 1919 earthquake, it was completely restored in 1987 and now houses a permanent exhibition, featuring a chronological reproduction of the main body of Giotto’s work. For bookings, please call 055/8448251.

Ponte di Cimabue : The official name of this bridge is ponte di Ragnaia. Its importance lies primarily in the part it has played in local history. Legend has it that it was while crossing this bridge that Cimabue first caught sight of the young Giotto and was awestruck by the younster’s prodigious abilities.

Chiesa di S. Maria a Rostolena : This church was first built in the 13th century, then entirely rebuilt in 1770. Unfortunately, it sustained great damage in the 1919 earthquake, and was rebuilt for the second time in 1923. It features two stunning lunettes above the two doorways, one depicting the Virgin’s Visit to St. Elizabeth and the other the Angel with symbol of the Eucharist. Adjacent to the church there is a bell tower and a presbytery. Visits to the church can be made on appointment. Tel. 055/843571.

Chiesa di S. Bortolomeo a Farneto : The main attraction here is the (hard to reach) hillock on which the church is built, rather than the church itself, as the views afforded from it are wonderful, especially on a clear day. Immediately to the rear of the church, although now closed to the public, there is a cemetary with a number of ancient tombs.

Pieve di S. Martino a Scopeto : This church was erected before the year 1000. It is accessed by ascending a long stairway that opens onto a square in front of the church. The coats-of-arms of three of the families who owned the property in the past are still evident on the façade. Unfortunately, the church has been cleared of all of its original internal features.

Chiesa di S. Quirico a Uliveta : First constructed over the course of the 17th century, this church was modified in 1614 under the patronage of the Magalotti family. Following the catastrophic earthquake of 1919, it has since been lovingly restored. The church has a single nave, and still contains several high-quality frescoes. It is currently closed to the public, but visits can be arranged through the warden, who lives in the nearby persbytery.

Chiesa di S. Lorenzo a Villore : This 13th-century church was completely rebuilt over the course of the 17th century. The steep path leading up to the church is flanked by large cement crosses representing the Via Crucis. The church is not open to the public, except for celebrations on the Patron Saint’s day, the 10th of August.
