Subbiano, the secret gateway to Casentino at the Alpe di Catenaia's foothills

By: Paola Cirino

Subbiano is a small hidden gem among the artistic treasures of Arezzo and the green landscapes of Casentino. On the left bank of the Arno river, the village with just under six thousand five hundred inhabitants is not simply a diversion from the main journey, but a destination still waiting to be discovered, despite its very long history.

The traces of the Middle Ages are clear and important, but people have lived here since prehistoric times. The Etruscans left signs of their passage, then the Romans built a small town under the protection of the god Janus Bifrons, who still watches over the village from above on his golden banner.
