Reggello

Try exploring Reggello, famous for its agricultural products. An international exhibition and market based on the local extra-virgin olive oil is held here each December. The parish Church of San Pietro a Cascia nearby dates from the 12th century and the reign of Countess Matilde di Canossa. A portico precedes the entrance to the church, which is completed by a simple bell-tower. The interior is divided into three naves whose capitals are carved with marvellous archaic figures, similar to those at the Church of Gropina. The so-called road "of the seven bridges" starts for Arezzo from here and is of great historical and artistic interest, apart from the beautiful scenery to be found en route.
