Church and architecture

Cerretti's official parish is called CERRETTI - Parrocchia del Cuore Immacolato di Maria and is located at Piazza Don Giuseppe Parretti, 3, in Santa Maria a Monte.

Masses at the Chiesa Parrocchiale di Cerretti are listed for Mondays at 9:30 p.m. and Tuesdays to Fridays at 6:30 p.m.

Anello del Rio Cannellaio circular trail

The Anello del Rio Cannellaio circular trail begins at the Chiesa Parrocchiale di Cerretti and returns to its starting point via Via Cerretti. For day planning, the starting point is also the endpoint. Anyone including the trail as a separate item on their itinerary can note the start at the Chiesa Parrocchiale and the return via Via Cerretti together. For travellers who organise their daily plans clearly by individual places, this fixed starting point is the most important reference within the route description.
