Fabro: Monte Cetona
Tucked along Umbria’s border with Tuscany, Fabro is a place whose character is shaped by the rolling cultivated hills below Monte Cetona. Rising to 1,148 metres, Monte Cetona forms a prominent ridge between the Val di Chiana and the Umbrian interior, with wooded slopes above a mosaic of fields and small settlements. Fabro developed around a medieval castle, and its territory includes the communities of Fabro Scalo and Carnaiola. Close to the Autostrada del Sole and the Florence–Rome railway corridor, the town remains rooted in the measured agricultural character of this central Italian borderland.
