Contact Info....

I just recieved my handbook for the summer.  Here is some of the info they gave me on the area I will be staying in:
www.aboutmugello.com                                   www.mugello.com
"Besides being a thriving agricultural community, the Mugello area has a rich cultural heritage. Vicchio, Giotto’s and Fra Angelico’s birthplace is 5 kilometers away with a small museum dedicated to their works. Having long been a popular spot for the summer homes of the Florentine nobility, as well as the home of the Medici family, the countryside is peppered with noble buildings, including grand Medici villas and castles. The great mountaintop monastery of Monte Senario, rich with art across six centuries, looks over the city of Borgo San Lorenzo to the north and Florence to the south.  In the expansive view of the Mugello Valley, one sees the nearby town of Borgo San Lorenzo. This town was born around the court of the Ubaldini family, where once there was an ancient Roman village. It has always been the most important town of the Mugello valley, largely because it is strategically located on the via Bolognese, the ancient road that connects Bologna and Florence. It has a fine ceramics museum and beautiful churches and picturesque streets. The history of the Mugello also spans to more recent times, as testified by World War II sites such as small monuments to American, British and Italian partisan soldiers killed in battle and the massive, moving German War Cemetery at the top of the Futa Pass on the way to Bologna. Northern Tuscany is somewhat of a hidden and preserved piece of Italy where traditional culture and traditions have not been spoiled by tourism."
