Rustico/casale

The cluster is in the Valdarno superiore, the upper Arno valley, with cultivated low hills and the Pratomagno range close to the east. The Arno runs through the valley floor. The Balze del Valdarno, eroded cliffs and pinnacles between Montevarchi, Terranuova Bracciolini and Castelfranco Piandiscò, are within this area and are one of the main named landscape features here. The nearest larger centres are Montevarchi itself and San Giovanni Valdarno, which provide the daily services and rail links of the valley; Arezzo and Florence are farther up and down the line. Loro Ciuffenna, on the lower slopes of the Pratomagno, has Bandiera Arancione status. The area is known for olive groves, vineyards and the Valdarno landscape painted by Leonardo in the background of some works.
