Loro Ciuffenna

Province of Arezzo, Toscana

Loro Ciuffenna is on the slopes of the Pratomagno mountain at an elevation of 320m (~1,050 ft.). The original route into town was over a Roman bridge, one of the seven along the route. Much of the town center is medieval in architecture, and there is a water-powered mill, dating to before 1200 AD, which still produces chestnut and other flours.

Loro Ciuffenna became a permanent settlement in the 4th century AD. This is the same period as the original structure which the current church, La Gropina (current structure dates to the 9th century AD), is built on. The belltower at La Gropina dates back to the early 1200s.
