CUTIGLIANO
Cutigliano: Loc. Cutigliano (Pistoia)
Built along a major road route already documented age Lombard, which valicava Pass Cross Arcana to head north, Cutigliano developed after 1368 when, under Pistoia, became the seat of the Judiciary Mountain. The country, characterized by narrow streets bordered by ancient buildings and monuments, is a prestigious summer resort supplementing its supply with the tourist resort of Doganaccia, placed on the Apennine ridge. Focal Point is the village square of the City Hall dominated by the Palazzo Pretorio or Captains of the Mountain, erected in the late fourteenth century and expanded in later centuries. The passage of time on these walls is documented by numerous coats of stone and polychrome terracotta of Captains called to fill the coveted judiciary, while a large emblem of the Medici family, surmounted by the papal insignia of Leo X, dominates the portal admission. Another symbol of dominance is the Florentine statue of Marzocco placed on the stone column in the square, a copy of the original sculpture that is preserved in the loggia overlooking Renaissance building that completes the architectural decoration of this valuable urban space, where you can admire a fresco sixteenth with the Madonna and Child. The sound of water flowing from the small stone fountain accompanies the visitor to the nearby Church of Our Lady of Piazza, where he keeps another work in earthenware Benedict Buglioni. Interesting examples of the seventeenth century Florentine painting can be admired in the church of St. Bartholomew, just outside the country. Around Cutigliano offer the possibility to go on walks of major environmental value such as Lake Scaffaiolo, Melo, Pianosinatico, Pian di Novello and Sestaione, with the beautiful fountain Grand Ducal that still brings refreshment to tourists through these reliefs. Of particular interest are the Pian Ontani, home of the poet pastora Beatrice Bugelli, and Rivoreta, a small village where the Ethnological Museum of the people dell'Appennino Pistoiese.
