Poppi

Poppi combines a compact medieval centre with the broad rural setting of the Casentino Valley in a way that reflects its position in the Apennine foothills of eastern Tuscany. Castello dei Conti Guidi rises above the town, recalling the long influence of the Guidi family in this part of the Arno valley. The Arno flows through Casentino after rising on nearby Monte Falterona, while the forests of the Casentino Forests National Park begin close to Poppi. The Battle of Campaldino, a decisive clash between Florentine Guelphs and Aretine Ghibellines, took place on the plain near the town in 1289.
