The
Pigelleto Nature Reserve extends over a territory of 862
hectars between Siena
and Grosseto.
It is located in Piancastagnaio, a small town South-East
from Monte Amiata in Tuscany. The Pigelleto Natural Reserve
has been incorporated by the Regional
Administration of Tuscany (Regione Toscana) in 1996.
It used to host one of the most important quicksilver mines
of Monte Amiata, today completely abandoned. The Environmental
Education Centre 'La Direzione' is inside the Reserve itself
and includes the Visitors Centre, the Environmental Education
Labs and facilities for visitors who wish to spend some
time in peace and tranquillity. Visitors can also discover
the beauties of the fauna and
the flaura of the Pigelleto Nature
Reserve by wandering through the marked excursion paths
or learn more about tours
