Settignano

The volume is divided into four parts: an introduction to the history of Settignano and to the artists and writers associated with it across the centuries; a detailed description of its two piazzas and their monuments; four short itineraries within easy walking distance from the main bus stop; perfect for half-day or full-day excursions in the counrtyside.
