PIEVE S. STEFANO

 

It is the ancient Sulpitia of the Romans; testimony of the civilization of this center valtiberino is the Church of Colledestro.
Its more recent history is marked by two sad events: from the 1855 flood, provoked by the landslide of the knoll of Belmonte, that, following the abundant precipitations of that year, it obstructed the course of the Tevere (in that occasion lost documents and artistic testimonies went); from the destruction gotten by the German troops in retreat, that they mined and they shaved to the ground the inhabited area.

Of her ancient plant medioevale remains the arc of the door of Tasano, that opened to south of the surrounded one of boundaries understood among two spurs: of one of them some trace stays in still the structure of the childish kindergarten.

 

Some good-looking buildings are found (still Town Building and Building Pretorio) with coats of arms in stone or of shop robbiana. Tables robbiane are also presents in the Collegiate one with inside to Latin cross. Notable the sixteenth-century sanctuary of the Madonna of the Lights.

In some rooms of the Town hall it has center the National file of the Diary, whose activity is tied up an important cultural prize (the prize "Pieve - Banca Toscana") that it proposes him to discover and to revalue memories and unpublished diaries.

Don't forget our roots was born the Center of the Historical Documentation of the Country Civilization "Dina Dini"; near the Elementary Schools "C. Salvetti" of Pieve Santo Stefano.
