Art Between the Village and Its Surroundings

Montefiridolfi is home to Centro d'Arte La Loggia, an open-air museum on the farm of the same name. For travelers interested in architectural history and art, Castello di Montefiridolfi and Centro d'Arte La Loggia can be considered two different focal points when planning a trip. The site features works by 20th-century artists, including Betty Woodman, Franz Stähler, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Roberto Barni and Karel Appel.

The Anello della Terzona Loop Trail

The Anello della Terzona loop trail runs for longer stretches alongside forests and cultivated countryside. Where the route is no longer passable by car, it continues as a path through an oak forest. For planning your day, the transition from the section alongside forest and cultivated countryside to the path through the oak forest is relevant because the route is not continuously passable by car there. The longer sections are also relevant when scheduling the loop trail. This creates a clear connection with the landscape: the trail links open, cultivated areas with a section through oak forest and is suitable as a theme for planning a trip with an interest in hiking and rural surroundings.
