About Vicchio
Vicchio is a municipality of roughly 8,000 people spread over 31 hamlets, so the homes sit in open country rather than on a town grid. Giotto was born in the hamlet of Colle di Vespignano, and a statue of him stands in the central Piazza di Giotto. Fra Angelico was born at Rupecanina. A route called the Path of the Painters links these places through hamlets and green countryside. Lake Montelleri is a short walk from the centre and is used for canoeing. The homes are mostly large, with a garden, and most have a pool and a fireplace.
