About Poppi
Poppi grew up in the Middle Ages around its castle, which overlooks the Campaldino plain, site of the battle of 1289. The courtyard is known for its staircases and a large collection of coats of arms, the chapel has frescoes by Taddeo Gaddi, and the library holds an impressive collection of books. In the village itself are the porticoed Via Cavour and the 11th-century Abbey of San Fedele. The Oratory of Madonna del Morbo has a hexagonal plan and an interior decorated with a starry sky. Poppi is listed among Italy's Most Beautiful Villages, and the Casentino Forests National Park is close by. The homes are scattered across a few kilometres of countryside, so evenings are quiet.
