Monteacuto Ragazza is a timeless place. It’s an antique village that really isolated, hidden on the top of a mountain near Grizzana Morandi. We went in the summer, but we don’t dare imagine what it’s like in the winter! In fact, the only paved street that reaches it wasn’t even inviting in the good season, imagine it with ice or snow…! Aside from these considerations the place is very beautiful. In the surrounding area there are splendid paths to travel along on foot, in fact, we are near the Corno alle Scale Park.

The place also has certain archeological interests in as much as they have discovered Etruscan remains in the area.

One last interesting thing about the name Monteacuto “Ragazza”. Academic scholars trace the term “ragazza” (girl) from agazza, that in the antique language of the Germanic people that dominated Italy in the past means “gazza” (magpie).
