Le Case San Romolo: Churches, Museums and Hiking Trails
The Chiesa di San Romolo a Villamagna is located in an isolated rural setting on a slope descending towards the Arno and was first mentioned in 1260. For those interested in culture, the landscape here is connected to a specific historical context. The present-day building of the Pieve di San Donnino a Villamagna also dates from a later reconstruction during the Romanesque period.

Together with the isolated rural setting of the Chiesa di San Romolo a Villamagna, they create a landscape connection encompassing mountains, gardens and a hillside descending towards the Arno.
Hiking with different distances
The Anello del Rinascimento is a 250-kilometre trekking route with eight stages and ten variants. Its stages and variants provide several possible route options along the long trail. The circular hiking trail “Colli a est di Firenze: anello Varlungo - Pontassieve” passes through Case di San Romolo. The section between San Prugnano and Case di San Romolo overlaps with the Anello del Rinascimento and its variants.
Shortly after Case di San Romolo, the route leaves the paved Via di San Romolo and follows Sentiero 00. This runs along the fence of Castello di Monte Acuto. For your planning, the different route lengths and types of trail help you decide whether to treat an outing as an extended trekking tour or as a single hiking stage.
Cycling and running trekking
There is also specific planning data for cycling: the cycling tour in the municipality of Bagno a Ripoli is more than 50 kilometres long and has an elevation gain of 1,300 metres. More than 50 kilometres and 1,300 metres of elevation gain together form part of this route and describe its distance and elevation difference. The cycling tour concerns the municipality of Bagno a Ripoli, while the announced event concerns Case di San Romolo. The two activities therefore have different location references. In addition, the Panoramica dell'Alberaccio in Case di San Romolo was announced as a non-competitive running trekking event in its 12th edition. The event information refers to this announced 12th edition.
