Nievole: River Landscape, Parish and Thermal Sites

Nievole appeals to travellers who want to get to know a place through its landscape, cultural history and nearby destinations. The river area of the Nievole, religious life, historical water use, and artistic and thermal sites offer different thematic perspectives for doing so.

SS. Trinità Nievole and the rhythm of church life

SS. Trinità Nievole is a parish in the Diocese of Pescia. The current Mass times in Nievole are Saturdays at 18:00 and Sundays at 09:00; weekday Masses are suspended.

La Nievole: Riverbed and Vegetation

The La Nievole landscape unit extends along the riverbed of the Nievole from the municipal boundary with Pieve a Nievole to the northern edge of the hill system. Consistent tree and shrub vegetation along the Nievole, as well as the vegetation on both banks of the watercourse, characterise this environmental unit. Those who want to understand a landscape through its natural structures can observe the river area here in its concrete form.

A Trace of Mill Use

A water diversion from the Bolognola stream in the Nievole locality was intended to generate driving power for a grain mill. Alongside the natural vegetation, this presents a specific form of human water use.
