Piano Di Conca between churches, fields and landscapes

Piano Di Conca combines a landscape with an agricultural past, ecclesiastical landmarks and destinations in the surrounding area. This creates a destination for you whose character can be understood through several specific layers: the transformation of canals and marshlands, churches and a historic organ, museums, beaches and a mountain. A gastronomic event and a route offering views of olive groves, the plain and the sea also provide opportunities for cultural, landscape and culinary interests.

A landscape shaped by visible change

Piano Di Conca is located on land drained in 1700. The former canals and marshlands were replaced by rice fields. Today, flowers, early-ripening fruit and vegetables, and strawberries shape the agriculture. Those interested in the development of cultural landscapes can find here the transition from former wetlands to cultivated areas across several historical periods.

Churches and historical landmarks

Villa Cenami is the place where the parish church of Conca “Sotto” was located in the Middle Ages. In Piano Di Conca, the parish church of San Francesco dates from 1953. The Church of San Francesco d’Assisi also houses an organ by Domenico Pucci dating from 1823. For culturally interested visitors, a medieval church site, a 20th-century church building and a 19th-century instrument are therefore found side by side. These ecclesiastical connections give the consideration of the area a broad historical scope without limiting it to a single era.

Museums and a palace in the surrounding area

The surrounding area of Piano Di Conca is home to the Museo del Carnevale di Viareggio, the Museo civici Villa Paolina Bonaparte and the Museo archeologico di Camaiore. All three are museums. Villa Le Pianore is a palace in the area around Piano Di Conca. Together with the churches, this setting broadens the cultural perspective beyond the immediate local connections.

Beaches, mountain landscapes and views

The beaches in the area around Piano Di Conca include Spiaggia Lido di Camaiore, Spiaggia Marina di Pietrasanta and Spiaggia Forte dei Marmi. Monte Matanna is a mountain in the area around Piano Di Conca. The range of landscape destinations thus extends from beaches to a mountain, while the agriculturally shaped land provides another connection to the landscape.

The “Da Pian di Conca a Corsanico” route offers views of olive groves, the plain and the sea. This makes it particularly interesting for you if, when experiencing a landscape, you would like to take both cultivated areas and open expanses and maritime perspectives into account.

Late-summer gastronomy

The Sagra del Fungo Porcino is associated with Piano Di Conca. It takes place every year as a gastronomic event in late summer. For your travel planning, this event provides a clear seasonal highlight and complements the religious, landscape and cultural themes with a culinary occasion.
