AN ENCHANTING MEDIEVAL VILLAGE LOCATED IN THE HEART OF VALDERA, TUSCANY, PECCIOLI HAS RECENTLY EARNED THE PRESTIGIOUS TITLE OF VILLAGE OF VILLAGES 2024. THIS ENCHANTING TUSCAN GLIMPSE, WITH ITS 4,800 INHABITANTS, HAS BECOME AN ICON OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMITMENT TO THE ENHANCEMENT OF THE TERRITORY
The village of Peccioli, gold medal for quality of life and environment
It stands on a hill in the heart of Valdera and has long since earned the orange flag of Touring Club Italiano. The Tuscan municipality, in fact, took first place in the program Rai Culture which every year on Rai3 discovers rare Italian towns and pearls. And, precisely the attention of this community for the development of the territory, the quality of life and the environmental sustainabilitywon over the jury and viewers.
Peccioli: focus on art, history and environmental innovation
Peccioli’s success was catalyzed by attention to life quality, at the environmental sustainability and to promotion of art Contemporary. In addition to the historical beauties and the suggestive views of the Tuscan hills, the village stands out for its unique works of art, such as the white giants that emerge from the ground and the spectacular multicolored walkway created by the artist Patrick Tuttofuoco.
The Green Triangle and the Giants of Peccioli
Among the most famous attractions of Peccioli stands out the Green Trianglea dump which turns waste into renewable energy: this centre, in addition to hosting events such as conferences, fashion shows and concerts in the amphitheatre, is known for the imposing humanoid sculptures called Giants of Pecciolicreated in 2011 by the group Naturally.
These giants, symbols of rebirth, are not the only ones to amaze, even the suspended terrace of the timeless Palace has transformed into one of the symbols of the resilient community of the Tuscan village that focuses on culture and the environment.
The building by Mario Cucinella hosts temporary exhibitions and offers those who enter the building a “promenade” towards a breathtaking view, giving the impression of flying step by step.
The commitment of the Icon Collection Group
Il Group Icon Collectionpart of the Ficcanterri entrepreneurial consortium, played a fundamental role in supporting Peccioli in its candidacy for Borgo dei Borghi 2024. Through an innovative approach oriented towards respect for the environment and people, Icon Collection continues to guide its structures towards excellence in services and innovation.
Peccioli confirms itself as an enchanting place with a history and a territory to admire, but also a example of commitment to sustainability and the valorisation, promoting conscious and responsible tourism.
