Monument to Bruno Cicognani

Monument to Bruno Cicognani

Following the unpaved paths of Via San Clemente and Via dei Bosconi, you will reach Poggio Pratone, the highest point in the Fiesole area, to an elevation of 702 meters. Poggio Pratone offers a panoramic view where you can admire the extraordinary landscape ranging from the Arno Valley, overlooked in the distance by the Casentino mountains, to the Mugnone Valley surrounded by Monte Morello and Monte Senario.

Poggio Pratone is also known as a commemorative site , because in 1973, the monument to the writer Bruno Cicognani was placed there. The monument was erected in 1973, two years after Cicognani’s passing, at the request of his heirs and friends, including the painter Baccio Maria Bacci and the architect Giovanni Michelucci.
