Discover Pian Di Sco: Festivals, History and Mountains

Festivals, Flavour and Living Tradition

Pian di Scò reveals its local identity through festival culture, sacred architecture, places of remembrance and landscape. The Feste del Perdono in Pian di Scò comprise five days of festivities with events for all age groups. The programme includes traditional religious celebrations and a concluding fireworks display. There are also themed dinners and food stalls. The five-day sequence establishes a clear period for travel planning, during which religious and culinary offerings take place side by side.

At MotoDivino Piandiscoese, a passion for motorcycles is combined with the wine and food culture of Valdarno and Chianti. Valdarno and Chianti extend the regional connection beyond Pian di Scò. The theme thus leads from the festival days to a distinct combination of motorcycles, wine and food.

The Pieve di Santa Maria a Scò

The Pieve di Santa Maria a Scò has been documented since AD 1008; its origins may date back even further. The Pieve di Santa Maria Pian di Scò has six columns with capitals. Anthropomorphic figures, animal depictions and plant motifs decorate these capitals. The Pieve thus forms a sacred focal point alongside the secular festival events and the path of remembrance.

Circular Trail and Places of Remembrance

The circular trail leads from Pian di Scò via Casa di Biondo, Campiano and Pulicciano back to Pian di Scò. Returning to the starting point makes it a closed loop. This provides a fixed start and end point for planning a hike, while Casa di Biondo, Campiano and Pulicciano mark the route between the two points.

A path inaugurated in 2011 honours those who fell in the Resistance and passes through places where young people showed the way to freedom through their sacrifice. Its historical dedication establishes a different focus from the circular trail: here, remembrance of the Resistance takes centre stage, rather than the sequence of trail stops.

In the vicinity of Pian di Scò are La Fornacella, a museum, and Casa Masaccio, also a museum.
