Itinerario panoramico Lucciano-Montorio-Buriano

Located on the slopes of Montalbano, Lucciano is a hamlet of the municipality of Quarrata. Here, in the first half of the 13th century, there was a rural town called districtus pistoiese, but the first records of the town date back to the period of Bishop Ildibrando (about 1132). There was once a fortress in the area, which was destroyed at the end of the Middle Ages. In its place, today, is the Church of Santo Stefano with paintings and frescoes by Florentine and Pistoia artists.

Montorio is a hamlet in the Municipality of Quarrata. It is a small medieval hamlet situated 200 metres above sea level. The San Martino Oratory is also well worth a visit.

Buriano is a hamlet of the municipality of Quarrata, on the slopes of Montalbano. The village is divided into the villages of: Cerretino, Baugiano, Maestrino, Tacinaia, Mulina,Pollaiolo. In the latter there is the house of the father of the famous Florentine painters of the fifteenth century, Piero, and Antonio Benci, called the "Pollaiolo". Although its origins are ancient, and its existence attested in the Lombard era, Buriano had considerable importance in the Middle Ages. The church of San Michele Arcangelo, also known as the Monumental Complex of Buriano, built over a Longobard guard, houses, along the road that surrounds it, a way of the cross, consisting of fourteen paintings and an olive cross, from Jerusalem.
