The village of Stanco is at an altitude of 600m and lies on the southern slope of Monte Stanco, offering wonderful views and terrain for walking or cycling. Only a ten minute walk away is the pretty medieval village of Stanco di Sotto followed by the Pegasus Riding stables. The town of Grizzana is on the boundary of the Regional Historical Park of Monte Sole. This large area holds a treasure of flora and fauna such as wild boar & deer. The museum-house of the painter, Giorgio Morandi, exhibiting some paintings in his summer studio, is to be found at the ‘Fienili del Campiaro’ on the outskirts of Grizzana. Immediately to the south of Stanco are Montovolo & Monte Vigese in the Provincial Park of Montovolo. One passes the ancient village of Scola en route to the Sanctuary at the top of Montovolo. Beyond lie the Regional Park of Lakes Suviana and Brasimone, good for picnics and boating, then the Regional Park of Corno alle Scale, good for skiing. Outlet Shopping at Barberino di Mugello.
