Vicchio is a town in the Tuscan countryside of Mugello, an area with ancient Etruscan origins.
Mugello was a very important region within the Florentine Republic where new urban centers emerged from the thirteenth century onwards. It was closely connected to the city both administratively and economically and the town of Vicchio remained extremely loyal to the Republic even when under siege by Spanish troops.
The town is known above all for having inspired the religious scenes of Giotto who frequently evoked the colors, landscapes and atmospheres in his works.
In addition to Giotto’s house is the church of Sant’Andrea Barbiana, the Cimabue bridge and the Museum of Sacred Art.
Also not to be missed are the splendid Tuscan hills which surround it and which give it an atmosphere of tranquillity only a few steps from Florence.
