Tourism and Territorial Context: San Godenzo is a mountain settlement nestled on the western approaches of the Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona and Campigna National Park. The village occupies a place in Italian literary history thanks to the 11th-century Benedictine Abbey of San Gaudenzio, founded in 1028: it was here, in June 1302, that exiled Florentine Ghibellines and White Guelphs assembled, counting Dante Alighieri among the participants during his exile. The territory is crisscrossed by marked CAI trails leading to the Acquacheta waterfall, celebrated in Dante's Inferno, and to the crests of Monte Falterona where the Arno River begins its journey toward Florence and Pisa. Nearby stands the Passo del Muraglione, a historic pass between Tuscany and Romagna. Local gastronomy showcases woodland and mountain traditions: PGI Mugello chestnuts roasted or ground into flour for castagnaccio and necci pancakes, handmade Mugello potato tortelli with wild boar or venison ragu, fresh porcini mushrooms, mountain pecorino cheeses, and grilled meats.
