Loro Ciuffenna and the Parish Church of Gropina
Tour
Loro Ciuffenna e Pieve di Gropina
Itinerary
A characteristic piedmont village, Loro Ciuffenna takes its name from the Ciuffenna stream itself, which carves its rumbling course through the rock and through the village. Evident are the urbanistic traces of the medieval layout, as well as the evidence of the ancient exploitation of the stream for productive uses, in the spinning mill and the still fully functioning water mill.
The town of Loro Ciuffenna is also home to the Venturino Venturi Museum, a great 20th-century artist who was born here and left a beautiful collection of his works, from which the link with these territories shines through, very strong.
Not far from the town is the Pieve di Gropina, one of the most beautiful and evocative Romanesque buildings in the entire province, which sports a very rich decorative apparatus, in the sculptures of the capitals and the fascinating pulpit.
