It was founded by Giovanni Gualberto, a Florentine noble, in 1038 and became the mother house of the Vallumbrosan Order. It was extended around 1450, reaching its current aspect at the end of the 15th century.

* The Balze were formed,from sediment deposited by a lake in the Pliocene and Pleistocene, this lake was about 21 km long, occupying the current Valdarno.Over the millennia, when the lake has receded, its sediments have been subjected to a continuous action of erosion by the weather whom have models them until assuming the fascinating shapes known with the name of “Balze”. The Balze, with their pinnacle and spire of rocks represent a characteristic landscape, but little known, of the Valdarno, that deserves to be seen, also Leonardo da Vinci remained fascinated and he represented it in some of his paintings, like in the background landscape of the MonaLisa.
* Seven Bridge Road-48,8km 30,2 Miles - Between Reggello (FI) and [wiki=34823294dd5026c94d2919946d88655e]Arezzo[/wiki] there is an ancient scenic route that up to the thirteenth century was the main method of transportation in the area, then following the move of the various castles in the valley, gradually lost its original importance, to become a route loved by cyclists and joggers. The Setteponti is also known as the street of churches, starting with S.Pietro in Cascia, home of a masterful triptych by the world famous artist, Masaccio; then the parish church of Santa Maria in PiandiScò; and then continuing with Badia a Soffena in Castelfranco di Sopra; the parish of Loro Ciuffenna just outside Gropina; and St. Justin. Car traffic is minimal on this road and the various curves make smooth the path where you can admire fantastic views over the valley to the villages along the road. Also you can admire the "Balze of Valdarno" with their pinnacle and spire of rocks that represent a characteristic landscape, but little known, of the Valdarno, that deserves to be seen. Leonardo da Vinci remained fascinated and he represented it in some of his paintings, like in the background landscape of the Mona Lisa. Step in the midst of endless olive trees interspersed here and there by vines, forage crops and olive trees, while in the more pronounced slope one finds thick green patches of vegetation.
* Sottili's stone Workshop Stone&Marble - Pietrapiana, ancient activity connected to the rural world though not directly to agriculture: stone cutting, which has been practiced for centuries to produce building material. The trade, born to satisfy the immediate necessities of the rural family, has adapted to the usages and customs of the modern world.Glancing into Sottili’s workshop we catch sight of fireplaces and various decorative objects in stone, as well as sculptures and objects for everyday use. Here stone is still being cut as it was in the past, strenuously, with ancient know-how and the help of nothing but hammer and chisel.
