Upper Tiber Valley

The Tuscan valley Valtiberina is not so well-known and advertised as other places in Tuscany are. This might be the reason why it has such a peculiar charm. Towns are not packed with tourists and the local people are still genuine.
Still, this does not mean that this area is not rich in culture and art.

Beyond giving birth to Michelangelo Buonarroti and hosting the Museo Michelangiolesco which displays some of his works, Caprese has many ancient pievi and churches from the Middle Ages, hermitages hidden among old chestnut and beech woodlands and evidence showing that the Langobards and St. Francis have been here. Some people have been looking for the tomb of Totila for years; some others have found Palaeolithic settlements.

Anghiari, not far from Caprese, is a perfectly preserved medieval town; Sansepolcro, also in the surroundings, hosts works from Piero della Francesca; La Verna has a beautiful sanctuary. These and many others are the places You will get the chance to discover. These places recount more and less famous stories about battles, hermitages, old peasants' traditions, poets, literature and forests.

Thanks to its museums and its food traditions, to its everlasting buildings made of stone and wood and to its untouched green forests, this land will surprise you, intrigue you and seduce you.

Events in Tuscany

This lush corner of Tuscany focus many historical and cultural centers where are organized events and festivals of all kinds throughout the year: from markets and festival dedicated to the traditional craftsmanship and culinary of the tows of the Tiber Valley and the Arezzo's territory, to country fairs, and to popular outdoor music concerts in spring and summer.

The Chestnut Festival

The most valuable and typical product from Caprese is marrone, a type of chestnut with a particularly large size and taste sweet and flavorful.

The cultivation of "marrone" chestnut in our area was already an important resource in Roman times, the practice has since been established and fostered by the Benedictine monks in the late Middle Ages and for centuries chestnuts, chestnut flour and then the polenta (and pigs that were grazing in the chestnut at the end of the harvest) have fed the people of Caprese instead of grain and bread.

The "Marrone di Caprese Michelangelo" received the protected designation of origin and the country celebrate every year this valuable and delicious fruit in two weekends of October with the Chestnut Festival, where you can enjoy many sweet dishes with chestnuts, chestnut flour, and find many other typical products. Visitors in this period can experience the warm hospitality of the villagers and participate in activities planned for the festival.
