Upper Bidente Valley - Saint Sophia
Santa Sofia is located in the Upper Bidente Valley, on the border between Romagna and Tuscany, in the heart of the Casentinesi Forests, Monte Falterona and Campigna National Park. A gateway that, over the centuries, has interwoven cultures, traditions, and lifestyles, giving this area a unique identity, suspended between two worlds. Part of the province of Florence until 1923, Santa Sofia still maintains strong cultural ties with Tuscany, evident in its art, architecture, and the flavors of its local cuisine. The village maintains its rural and mountain roots, but also embraces contemporary life thanks to a rich program of cultural and artistic events.
Art, events and a sustainable lifestyle
Santa Sofia is known for its attention to quality of life and its deep connection with the local area. It is part of the international Slow Cities network, which promotes conscious and sustainable tourism, highlighting local products and authentic hospitality.
Throughout the year, the village hosts important events such as the Campigna Prize , dedicated to contemporary art, and the International Festival of Street Artists , events that contribute to making this small town a cultural point of reference for the valley.
