Some History...

In the year 986, a group of rebel monks left from Montecassino Abbey and was welcomed by the Bishop of Arezzo. The Bishop gave the monks one of his estates in the upper Casentino area, situated at 1,000m of height and surrounded by forests and uncontaminated meadows. The estate was called Pratalia. In 1002, Pratalia Abbey was already built, and in 1008 the current Romanesque-style country church (now Parish Church dedicated to St. Mary Assumption) was built.>>>
