Dicomano is plunged in the green of a variegated and lush landscape made up of woody mountains, gentle hills stud with the typical Mugello country houses and cultivated fields. The village of Dicomano is right at the bottom of the valley, at the confluence between two rivers, the Sieve and the smaller Comano. The village has a long and interesting story behind his shoulders. If you stop here, you’ll be able to discover it.
The origins of Dicomano are Etruscan: if you are fond of archaeology or if you are simply curious, you can visit the excavations that have brought to the light numerous finds among which the foundations of the Roman Church of San Martino al Poggio and the remainings of a big Etruscan building.
There’s no lack of rural churches, typical element of the Mugello countryside. A must is also the Santa Maria Churh, not only for the beauty of the building itself, but for the works of art by artists like Vasari and others belonging to the workshops of Ghirlandaio and Bronzino, collected inside.
Undoubtedly, you should also visit the Convento di Sandetole (Sandetole Monastery). Built on the ruins of an ancient Roman rural church, the monastery was inhabitated till the end of the last century by the Franciscan Monks, whereas today it has been turned into a receptive structure. The beauty of the place, in addition to the beauty of the very monastery, made of it the ideal location where to spend your holidays here in Mugello.
