ABOUT BUCINE

The name of this town points to Etruscan-Roman origins, but it was not until the Mediaeval period that it enjoyed some degree of importance with the building of a castle to control the Ambra Valley. Given its strategic position on the main communication link between Valdarno and Siena, a well populated and industrious centre grew up round the original military post.

The territory of the town of Bucine is situated in the zone where the last mountains of Chianti meet the upper Arno River Valley, on the banks of the Ambra. It has been a crossing point and settlement since the Roman period (as shown by the Pogi bridge).

Located only a few kilometers from the important cities of Florence, Arezzo and Siena, Bucine and Valdambra have had important roles as border territories since the Roman age. During the Middle Ages the fortunes of this town were controlled by the powerful families who had their estates along the marvellous hills that accompany the Ambra to the Arno.

The paleontological museum of the “Scuola Media A. Manzoni” in Bucine is in the central hall of the school building in Via XXV Aprile. The museum owes its existence to Mr. Alessandro Sacconi’s passionate interest in the local territory while a teacher at the school. Since 1976, he has worked at collecting fossil materials from the upper Arno valley and its environs and arranging them in the 12 glass display cases that have been prepared to date. Naturally, the fossils that have been found in the environs of Bucine have been given more prominence. This museum is a living structure where the material is preserved, studied and catalogued by the students with the guidance of their teachers and experts in the field.
