Surroundings Era Valley Park

The park stands out on the Tuscan scene because it is an area of particular scientific and artistic interest, the salient aspects of which have been studied and put together so as to provide an educational opportunity by setting up innovative facilities and open-air spaces making for thought-provoking urban experiences: science centres, museums and parks. It is a brand of initiative embodying a new social and territorial perspective based primarily on efficient facilities, museums and cultural workshops bound up with specific planning of the area concerned. The educational and cultural hub that the park constitutes fosters acquaintanceship and socialisation, as it is set in particularly agreeable geographical surroundings. School parties and their families can take advantage of a new approach that enables them to embark on a journey into the culture and times that have shaped the area. Here we have prehistory in the park devoted to the subject and the archaeological museum, history with the zoology and icon museums, contemporary history with the museums of peasant lore and work and, last but not least, the sciences, with the astronomical observatory and the mofette. The discovery over recent decades of various archaeological sites dating back to Etruscan and other times and dotted over the whole of the park also holds out great interest.
