History of Poggio di Loro
The village is an ancient fief (1247-1329) held over the years by various noble Tuscan families. In 1351, the population rebelled against their feudatories and allied with the Florentine Republic. The walls enclose Santa Maria Assunta, a Romanesque parish church dating to the 11th century.
Poggio di Loro is without a doubt a village of tradition and folklore, where the mid-August “Sagra della Polenta” festival is followed by November’s “100 Ceppi Accesi” bonfires. Summer offers a thousand occasions for dining, as though the village were one gigantic block party, at tables groaning with every delicacy Tuscan cooking has to offer. Street markets, evenings of dancing, and much more make Poggio di Loro a dreamland for residents and visitors alike. |
