Discover Cevoli: Church, Villa and Cycling Routes

Cevoli appeals to travellers who want to combine religious art, history, local culinary culture and cycling routes. Its historical references range from the 11th century to the modern era, while several routes incorporate Cevoli into different excursion and sightseeing themes.

Church and Historical Testimonies

The present-day parish church of Santi Pietro e Paolo in Cevoli dates from the early 18th century. It houses a painting of the Madonna and Child with Saints Peter and Paul, signed in 1490 by the Pisan artist Andrea De Pisis. The furnishings also include a large wooden crucifix from the 11th century. Thus, the same parish church brings together several clearly distinguishable periods and forms of religious art.

Villa Ceuli also enhances the historical profile. It was built at the end of the 17th century as a country residence for the Pisan Lanfranchi-Ceuli family and has a park. For those interested in culture, this site combines the history of an aristocratic country residence with a landscape element shaped by architecture.

Cycling Routes with Different Focuses

The Cammino d’Etruria is considered a route that can be travelled on foot or by bicycle, following the traces left by the Etruscans. The planned cycling branch of this Cammino d’Etruria passes through Cevoli towards Capannoli. If you include this connection in your travel plans, it should be classified as a planned cycling branch.

A separate short cycling route is the Miemo–La Sterza route. It runs from Orceto at kilometre 16 to Cevoli. From Cevoli, it then descends to the SP 13 and continues towards Case Fraschetta.

Another themed connection is entitled “Un itinerario tra storia, arte e sapori nei borghi tra Cevoli e Casciana Alta”. This route presents Cevoli as the first village to visit while also focusing on history, art and regional flavours. It is therefore particularly suited to travel planning in which cultural impressions and culinary themes belong together.

Village Life and Regional Cuisine

At the second edition of “Cena sotto le stelle”, there were market stalls along the village streets and an art exhibition. The menu included a welcome aperitif, soup, porchetta with beans, dessert, as well as water and wine. The specific selection shows Cevoli as a place where communal dining, market stalls and art were brought together at an event.

Practical Information for Your Stay
