The works of the famous artist Alberto Burri are partly in Palazzo Albizzini, which houses 130 works such as Catrams, Muffe, Gobbi, Sacchi, Wood, Iron, Combustion, Cretti and Cellotex and partly to the former Tobacco Seeds.

Monterchi (10 km)
The village is small but cute and is famous for the fresco by Piero della Francesca “The Mother of Baptism”. Many tourists come to see it from around the world.

Anghiari (18 Km)
It is a small and quiet Tuscan village full of charm. It can be explored in half day strolling through its narrow lanes alternating uphill and downhill. Quiet and spotless, it looks like a village escaped from a fairy tale. It certainly deserves a stop, even a very short one. Not to be missed: Palazzo Marzocco, Palazzo Pretorio.

Montone (15 Km)
Visiting: The impressive walls of medieval origins that surround the town, the Colleggiate Church with a beautiful bell tower, the remains of the Rock of Arm and the medieval village characterized by narrow streets and gracious dwellings.

Gubbio (35 Km)
Lovely, it seems to be a dive in the past.Gent very friendly and hospitable. there is a great kitchen, especially for mushroom lovers. The best time to go is May for the famous Corsican Race or in December to see the world’s tallest Christmas tree but it’s also beautiful in September. and less crowded.
