The municipality of Vaglia, an ideal gateway to and from the Mugello area, is located just a few kilometers north of Florence.

Situated at an altitude of 290 m above sea level, it owes its charm to the sublime coexistence of artistic sites and magnificent nature.

True treasure chests of wonders, such as the Medici Park of Pratolino (a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2013) or the Sanctuary of Monte Senario, are set among unspoiled woods and valleys. With an area of 56.94 km² and a population of nearly 5,200 inhabitants, the municipality is easily reached along the Via Bolognese, a road that passes through the hamlets of Pratolino, Fontebuona, and Vaglia.

The natural landscape is crossed by numerous trails and trekking routes, including the well-known Via degli Dei, which runs from the center of Bologna to Piazza della Signoria in Florence, crossing part of the hilly reliefs of Vaglia and reaching the hamlet of Bivigliano.

The municipality, accessible by private and public transport (train, scheduled buses, and coaches), meets the needs of those who enjoy exploring Italy through slow mobility, rewards those seeking traces of a glorious past, and inspires those in search of a place for the spirit.
