Località Vespignano - Vicchio (Firenze)
In the township of Vicchio del Mugello there is what is believed to be, according to common tradition, the home of the great Painter, who was native of this area. Originally it was probably part of a vaster manor.
The home was restored in 1840, but suffered damage in the late IX century and then again during the 1919 earthquake; then it was left to ruin and considered only an agricultural annex. In 1975 it was purchased by the City and allocated as a museum.
Recently the setup was completely reorganized so that the visitor finds himself along a virtual path through the works of the great painter. For this reason the tour is particularly suitable for didactic purposes. In the museum there are also didactic laboratories on the art of frescoes.
