Pian Di Sco: Festivals, Parish Church, and Trails

Pian Di Sco offers several themes to shape your trip around: local festival traditions, the history of the parish church, and trails with different points of interest. If you are looking for a hotel, the purpose of your trip can help you decide how to explore these themes.

Feste del Perdono: religious celebrations and food

The Feste del Perdono is a traditional local celebration. The edition announced for 2026 spans five days of festivities. Its program includes traditional religious celebrations and a closing fireworks display; themed dinners and food stalls are also planned. The festival thus brings together religious and culinary events rather than focusing on just one theme. Specific events may vary from one edition to another. If you are planning your trip around this occasion, check the dates and program for the relevant edition.

MotoDivino Piandiscoese and regional food culture

MotoDivino Piandiscoese offers a different combination of food and experiences: it brings together a passion for motorcycles with the wine and food culture of Valdarno and Chianti. This has a different focus from the Feste del Perdono. Dinners and food stalls are part of that festival’s program; at MotoDivino, food culture is part of a concept that brings it together with a passion for motorcycles. For your thematic planning, you can distinguish these two different focuses without treating them as one shared program.

Parish church: history and capital motifs

The Pieve di Santa Maria a Scò has been documented since 1008 AD; its origins may date back further. This cautious description allows for an earlier origin without assigning it a specific earlier date.

The Pieve di Santa Maria Pian di Scò has six columns with capitals decorated with anthropomorphic figures, animal depictions, and plant motifs. Capitals form the uppermost parts of columns; these six examples therefore bring together human, animal, and plant motifs. If you are interested in the design, you can look at the three groups of motifs separately and then compare how they work together on the columns.

Trails: a loop route and a memorial

The circular route starts in Pian di Scò, passes through Casa di Biondo, Campiano, and Pulicciano, and returns to Pian di Scò. The sequence of named places makes the route described here clear as a loop: it starts and ends in the same place, with three named stops in between.

A trail inaugurated in 2011 honors those who fell in the Resistance and passes through places where young people showed the way to freedom through their sacrifice. This places two different trail themes side by side: a loop route with named stops and a trail with an explicitly commemorative purpose. For choosing between them, this distinction is more specific than a general classification as a walk or an excursion.
