Mugello is a wonderful part of Tuscany that extends from the city of Florence to the borders with Emilia Romagna. You will marvel at the beauty of its different landscapes, which vary from the transparent waters of Bilancino Lake to luxuriant hills, from green woods inhabited by hundreds of wild animals to typical countryside roads surrounded by sunflower fields and cypresses.
Its towns, such as Barberino di Mugello, Dicomano and Firenzula, are rich of culture, history, art and ancient traditions.
Scarperia, for example, is a stunning village with visible evidence of its flourishing past, marked out by the Medici family’s dominion and the presence of some of the most important Italian artists. You will have to visit the “Palazzo dei Vicari”, the “Mostra mercato dei ferri taglienti” and to participate to some special events, like the “Giornata Rinascimentale”.
Mugello also offers the possibility to visit many interesting museums (ex. “Casa di Giotto”) and natural itineraries for hiking and mountain bike excursions to explore the beauties hidden in this place.
