Pieve Santa Maria della Mula

Pieve Santa Maria della Mula

Simplicity and greatness at the same time: you are in the purest faith.
It is a country parish church, where a mule bowed in front of the Virgin Mary and the sign of its knees remains as a symbol for the worshipper who enters. The statue of Holy Mary is gilded, but it is made of wood: greatness and simplicity are just a few steps from the top of the Enchanted Mountain.

La Balena Bianca

The White Whale

The Enchanted Mountain is alive!
Immerse yourself in the warm waters of the White Whale in Bagni San Filippo, the natural pools dug in the white rock will make you feel part of nature, part of the whole.

Cinnabar, once a great resource for the people of Amiata, is the mineral of the good volcano.
It is the symbol of the power of the mountain. Its shades of red are the mark of the power of fire, the mercury that is extracted from it is the true gift.
