Cantagallo

The landscape around Cantagallo is a succession of wooded Tuscan-Emilian Apennine slopes and narrow valleys, which has shaped both its scattered settlement pattern and land-based local economy. In the upper Bisenzio valley, this municipality in the province of Prato feels markedly more mountainous than the Renaissance cities of the Arno plain. Hamlets sit among chestnut woodland and cultivated clearings, while local roads follow routes leading towards Emilia-Romagna. Above the valley, the ruins of the medieval Rocca di Cerbaia recall the strategic importance of Apennine passages. Cantagallo provides a useful perspective on Tuscany beyond its best-known art cities. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Cantagallo and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines.
